Recall of Purity Baby Powder

The Health Services Directorate has received a notification that, as a precautionary measure, PURITY Essentials Baby Powder products are being recalled by Tiger Consumer Brands Limited.  

The recall is due to trace levels of asbestos being found in test samples from a batch of pharmaceutical grade talc powder used as a raw material in the production of the product. The company has advised that despite having found no evidence of contaminated products being used for production, consumer safety is still an absolute priority. The company has therefore considered it appropriate to undertake a precautionary recall.  

Merchants on-Island have advised that they currently do not have these items in stock or within their outlets. However, the Health Services Directorate is asking all members of the public to check at home if they have any of the products that are being recalled. The products are listed below:

If you do have products at home with the above details, you should return it to the place it was bought from or dispose of it appropriately. If any persons have any further queries please feel free to contact the Environmental Health Services on tel: 22713.
