What the company announced

Nail Polish Remover recalled due to the detection of methylene chloride and chloroform in the affected product—both hazardous substances that are strictly prohibited in cosmetic formulations.

Recall Summary

Name of Product: Nail Polish Remover

Hazard: The nail polish remover was found to contain methylene chloride and chloroform, methylene chloride, in cosmetics, is a concern because it has been shown to cause cancer in animals and is likely harmful to human health. Methylene chloride is a prohibited ingredient which is not allowed in cosmetics at any level under FDA regulations.

Remedy: Refund

Consumers should stop using the recalled Nail Polish Remover immediately and clearly mark the product bottle and its outer packaging with the word “Recalled” in a prominent location. Subsequently, please safely dispose of the entire product (including the bottle and any remaining contents) in your regular household waste, in accordance with local waste disposal regulations.

Following proper disposal, kindly take a photograph of the discarded product (clearly showing the “Recalled” label and the product itself) and submit the image via email to our customer service team for verification. The designated email address for submission is: [email protected] .

What to do about Product safety

Morovan — A consumer product hazard prompted this recall, and the remedy — refund, repair or replacement — is funded by the company, not by you.

  1. Stop using the product and move it somewhere a child or pet cannot reach it.
  2. If the product already hurt someone, file a report at SaferProducts.gov.
  3. Check the model number and date code against the identifiers on this page, and photograph them.
  4. Do not resell, donate or pass it on — reselling a recalled product is illegal in the United States.

If the claim stalls

Most recall claims are paid without argument. The ones that stall usually stall for a reason you can fix.

  • Check you used the recall channel rather than ordinary customer support — the two queues rarely talk to each other.
  • If the company is unresponsive or has stopped trading, report it to the CPSC at SaferProducts.gov, and try the retailer in parallel.
  • Paid by card? A chargeback for goods that are unfit for sale is a legitimate fallback once the company has had a fair chance.
  • Send the photos they asked for in the format they asked for. A missing date code is the single commonest reason a claim sits unprocessed.
