Popular hair product recalled nationwide over potential explosion hazard
A popular hairstyling mousse sold to salons and consumers in multiple states is being recalled over a potential explosion hazard.
Henkel Corporation is voluntarily recalling certain 6.76-ounce cans of Schwarzkopf Professional Osis Grip Extra Strong Mousse, according to an Aug. 11 notice posted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The Germany-based company said a “potential packaging issue” could allow the product to leak from the aluminum cans while under pressure, creating an explosion hazard.
Henkel became aware of the problem after receiving one customer complaint and two reports from salons.
“Bruising on the hand was reported by the customer and no other injuries were identified,” the FDA noted.
Affected batch codes include:
The recalled mousse was distributed through 21 distributors in Alaska, Arizona, California, Florida, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas and Washington, according to the FDA.
It was also sold directly to hair professionals and consumers.
Consumers who purchased one of the recalled cans are encouraged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
