Nearly a year after a report by our partners at U.S. PIRG Education Fund found asbestos in its children\u2019s makeup products, Claire\u2019s agreed to take action.<\/p>\n

On March 5, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) confirmed our findings that Claire\u2019s had been selling makeup marketed to children that contained carcinogenic asbestos. Days later, Claire\u2019s announced it would remove three talc-based makeup products from store shelves.<\/p>\n

\"While we are relieved that children will no longer be able to buy three asbestos-containing cosmetics at Claire's, we urge Claire's to take stronger action,\u201d said Kara Cook-Schultz, director of our national toxics program and lead author of last year\u2019s report. \u201cMany consumers still have these dangerous products on their shelves at home, and parents and kids should be informed about problems with the makeup they purchased.\"<\/p>\n

U.S. PIRG\u2019s Consumer Watchdog team is alerting consumers to dangerous products on the market, while also urging Congress to grant the FDA more enforcement power.<\/p>\n
