RECENT ACTIONS

Lead in Baby Powder

Product: Amazingly Natural Baby Powder GTIN 0 18788 20332 2 Manufacturer: Redmond Trading Company, LC.

In September 2020, CAPA notified the manufacturer that this product had been tested and showed it contained the heavy metal, Lead. Lead has been identified to cause developmental toxicity, male reproductive toxicity and female reproductive toxicity on February 27, 1987, and as a chemical known to cause cancer on October 1, 1992.

This successful action resulted in the requirement that labels will be provided on the packaging, online, and for any products that were distributed to stores prior to the action, signage to allow the consumer to make informed purchasing choices.
