Adverse Skin Reactions Prompt Recall of Children's Face Paints
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is advising consumers to stop using certain cosmetic "Face Paint" items labeled as distributed by Oriental Trading Co., due to adverse event reports of skin reactions in children. These items were distributed nationwide.
The FDA has learned of a cluster of adverse events in children exposed to various colors of the face paint. All exposures occurred on the same day at an organized event and included rashes, itchiness, burning sensation, and swelling where the face paints were applied. Significant microbial contamination was indicated in most of the products in testing by an FDA laboratory. The colours of the face paints being recalled are blue, purple, red, orange, black, and green face.
