The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) in the UK has issued a recall for the Pilgrim Anti-Dandruff Shampoo and Conditioner Set due to a serious chemical risk. This notice follows the discovery that the products contain Zinc Pyrithione, which is not allowed in cosmetic items. Consumers have been advised to immediately cease using the product if they possess it and can identify it by the specific product codes given in the recall notice.

The recalled items were sold primarily on Amazon, with prices ranging from £12 to £20. The specific Amazon codes for the products are B0D5DBM7G7 for the shampoo and B0D5D9BF3Q for the conditioner. Customers are strongly encouraged to refer to the recall notice and check their products against these codes to ensure safety. The OPSS has underscored the potential hazards posed by the improper presence of this chemical, which could lead to serious health implications if used.

This incident highlights ongoing concerns regarding cosmetic safety regulations and the importance of vigilant compliance by manufacturers. The recall emphasizes the need for consumers to stay informed about the products they use and the regulations governing their safety. It also puts pressure on retailers like Amazon to ensure that their platforms adhere to safety standards and promptly remove harmful products from their listings.
