Lip gloss
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Certain lip glosses packaged in plastic mini pots shaped like small tarts have been recalled due to choking hazard. The products—which include Chocolate Sprinkle, Cherry Feast, Strawberry Sprinkle, Violet Fancy, Raspberry Fluff, Coconut Dream, and Lemon Twister varieties—resemble food items in appearance, smell, color, packaging, and size in a way that could cause consumers, especially children, to mistake them for edible products and place them in their mouths. The products are small enough to fit into a small parts cylinder and fail to comply with safety standards for products that could be confused with food.
The distributor has voluntarily withdrawn these products from the market and will destroy remaining inventory. Affected consumers should contact their distributor regarding the recall, though the source does not specify additional steps an affected consumer should take.
