FDA Recalls Skin, Hair Products From India
Posted on: Thursday, 17 January 2008, 15:00 CST
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced the recall of Swad Brand skin and hair products imported from India for religious purposes.
The FDA said the recalled 3.5-ounce packages include Abil, Gulal, Kanku, Kum Kum and Swad Brand Lagan Samagri Kits and Pooja Samagri Kits.
The recall by Raja Foods LLC of Skokie, Ill., was ordered because the products contain high levels of lead, posing a health risk.
The recalled products were distributed through Indian grocery stores in Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin.
The FDA said although the products were not intended to be sold for food use, the labeling might be confusing and imply they could be used as food.
The Abil, Gulal, Kanku and Kum Kum products are distributed in plastic bags with a front label stating Swad Best Taste in Town Sindoor. The Lagan Samagri and Pooja Samagri products are distributed in plastic bins with similar labels.
External use of the product does not pose a health hazard, the FDA said.
Consumers are urged to return the products for a refund or contact the company at 800-800-7923 x 2860.
