Class II U.S. Food and Drug Administration

Private Label Skin Care Inc. Micronized BPO Gel Cleanser 10% Pantea MD , 7 oz recall: Chemical Contamination: This recall has been initiated due to elevated levels

Recall published 1+ years ago

Chemical Contamination: This recall has been initiated due to elevated levels of benzene that was discovered during post consume awareness with benzoyl peroxide products.

The hazard: Harmful chemical exposure

The hazard here is chemical rather than mechanical, so the right response is to stop using the product and to ventilate or clean anywhere it has been applied.

What the notice says: Chemical Contamination: This recall has been initiated due to elevated levels of benzene that was discovered during post consume awareness with benzoyl peroxide products.

Why it matters: A chemical that should not be present at this level was found in the product. Depending on the substance, the concern may be a burn or irritation on contact, or a long-term risk from repeated exposure.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

For a splash or spill, rinse the skin or eyes with running water for 15 to 20 minutes and remove contaminated clothing. If the product was swallowed, or if there is any trouble breathing, call Poison Control on 1-800-222-1222, which operates free and around the clock — or 911 if the person is collapsing, struggling to breathe or unconscious. Take the container or a photo of the label with you to any appointment.

What to do about Chemical

Private Label Skin Care Inc. — The hazard here is chemical rather than mechanical, so the right response is to stop using the product and to ventilate or clean anywhere it has been applied.

  1. Stop using the product and keep it away from children and pets.
  2. If anyone has symptoms, call Poison Control on 1-800-222-1222 rather than guessing.
  3. Do not pour it down a drain or into a bin without checking local hazardous-waste rules, and never mix it with another cleaner.
  4. Ventilate the room if the product was sprayed or applied there.

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.
