Written by Thousands of bottles of nail polish remover sold on Amazon have been recalled after hazardous substances that are “strictly prohibited” were detected in the product, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The Morovan gel nail polish remover was found to have methylene chloride and chloroform in it, which officials said “is a concern because it has been shown to cause cancer in animals and is likely harmful to human health.” Methylene chloride is a prohibited ingredient in the U.S. and “is not allowed in cosmetics at any level under FDA regulations,” according to the FDA. Anyone who purchased the nail polish remover was urged to stop using it “immediately,” label the bottle with the word “recalled” on it and safely dispose of it. The company asked customers to then submit a photo of the disposal. “Following proper disposal, kindly take a photograph of the discarded product (clearly showing the ‘Recalled’ label and the product itself) and submit the image via email to our customer service team for verification,” the company wrote in its recall notice. “The designated email address for submission is: customer-service@morovan.com.” According to Morovan, about 4,000 bottles were included in the recall.
