The Consumer Protection Commission in Zimbabwe has recalled the 50ml single-use neutralising shampoo contained in the Dark and Lovely moisture plus kit (Regular and Super) and Dark and Lovely anti-breakage kit for containing bacteria that may lead to scalp infections in those with compromised immune systems.
In a statement, the Commission said this follows the recall of the same product by the National Consumer Commission (NCC) of South Africa.
“The Consumer Protection Commission received notification on the recall by NCC through a notice from the COMESA Competition Commission. The product has been recalled by the manufacturer, L’Oreal. The Commission is therefore urging members of the public in possession of the 50 ml single use neutralising shampoo contained in Dark and Lovely moisture plus kits (Regular and Super) and Dark and Lovely anti-breakage kit to immediately discontinue the use of the product and return it to the point of sale for a full refund. This recall is being made in line with Section 15 (1) (e) read with sub-section 2 (b) of the Consumer Protection Act which requires the Commission to, “recall the goods for repair, replacement or refund if the goods are unsafe” and “carry out a recall programme on any terms required by the Commission”.
“Should you require more information or clarification on the matter, you may contact Mr. G. Zhou, the Compliance and Investigations Manager at the Consumer Protection Commission on +263 719 176 501, Mr. K. Mudereri, the Research and Public Affairs Manager on +263 719 176 506 or Mr. J. Sibanda on +263 719 176 473.”
