What happened

Veronique brand nail polishes have been recalled because they contain Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), a chemical prohibited in cosmetics under European law. DBP may harm unborn children and pose a possible risk of impaired fertility, as phthalates have a negative effect on the development of reproductive organs. The recalled products are nail polishes and nail care products sold in 6-12 ml glass bottles, including Veronique French Look Rose Manicure (colours FL-2 and FL-3), Veronique Pure Color Nail Polish (colours 1-66), and Veronique Luxury Line High Wear (colours 4 and 5), all with bar code 5060048400106.

Authorities have ordered the products withdrawn from the market. The recall was initiated in Estonia. The source does not specify what remedy or action affected consumers should take.
