Bath milk - Deliciously creamy

  • Brand DE LAURIER

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

De Laurier's "Deliciously creamy" bath milk (Ref. 12303) is being recalled because its appearance and packaging closely resemble a milk bottle, which could lead consumers—particularly children and elderly people—to mistake it for a beverage and swallow it. The product contains 12.5% sodium laureth sulphate, an anionic surfactant, and lacks a bittering agent. Ingesting this substance due to mistaken identity could cause serious health damage. The transparent plastic bottle is 17 centimeters tall with a white plastic cap and contains a white, mildly viscous, lightly perfumed liquid that appears consistent with a milk drink based on its label and overall presentation.

According to the recall record, the measure being taken is voluntary destruction of the product stocks by the responsible economic operator. The source does not specify what actions an affected consumer should take.

There is no bittering agent in the product.The product does not comply with the Directive 87/357/EEC on products which, appearing to be other than they are, endanger the health or safety of consumers.
