The public has been informed of the recall of 50ml single-use neutralising shampoo included in the Dark and Lovely Moisture Plus kits and Dark and Lovely Anti-Breakage kits.
The Consumer Protection Commission has received a notice from the COMESA Competition Commission regarding this recall.
The recall is due to the presence of bacteria in the shampoo that can cause scalp infections, particularly in individuals with compromised immune systems, as identified by the National Consumer Commission (NCC) of South Africa.
Members of the public who have the 50ml single-use neutralising shampoo from these Dark and Lovely kits are advised to stop using the product immediately and return it to the point of sale for a full refund.
This recall has been initiated by the manufacturer, L’Oreal.
This recall is being made in line with Section 15 (I) (e) read with sub section 2 (b) of the Consumer Protection Act which requires the Commission to, “recall the goods for repair, replacement or refund if the goods are unsafe” and “carry out a recall programme on any terms required by the Commission”.
