And Claire’s Makeup Tests Positive For Asbestos Again
If you’re a mom and your young daughter is taking her first steps into the land of makeup I imagine you’ll hit up Claire’s at some point. Claire’s always has some rather cute, fun products for girls that are just starting to evolve from Barbie’s to lipstick! Hell, I shop at Claire’s sometimes because who doesn’t want a sparkly new iPhone case!
Just a warning though if you do shop there or you shop their for a younger girl or boy in your life know that Claire’s has makeup has tested positive for asbestos again! Yup, back in December 2017 they had the same issue and recently the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on warned consumers not to use certain makeup sold by Claire’s after they were found to contain asbestos.
Claire’s denies the claims and has released the following statement:
“There is no evidence that any products sold by Claire’s are unsafe. The recent test results the FDA have shared with us show significant errors. Specifically, the FDA test reports have mischaracterized fibers in the products as asbestos, in direct contradiction to established EPA and USP criterion for classifying asbestos fibers. Despite our efforts to discuss these issues with the FDA, they insisted on moving forward with their release. We are disappointed that the FDA has taken this step, and we will continue to work with them to demonstrate the safety of our products.”
My motto is better safe than sorry no matter what statement they released!
