Asbestos, a cancer-causing substance, was reportedly found in several brands sold by Claire’s, which prompted the company to launch a massive pullout of 17 products off the shelves of the national children’s makeup retailer.
According to the Daily Mail, the jewelry and accessories retailer was forced to remove 17 brands from their shelves after a disturbing lab result that showed asbestos content in them.
Based on a report from ABC7, the issue became subject of headlines after a mother from Rhode Island identified as Kristi Warner got worried after buying glitter makeup from the retailer for her 6-year-old daughter.
Unsure about the safety of its contents, she decided to send it to the Scientific Analytical Institute, an independent lab in North Carolina, where it was found to contain tremolite asbestos, a substance that can cause severe health problems.
In an interview, Warner revealed how she reacted after finding out that the product she lovingly bought for her child contained the hazardous substance.
