After conducting a thorough evaluation, Aveda says it determined that the risk of eye irritation or infection in healthy individuals following use of this product is low. However, there could be a heightened health risk for some consumers, such as individuals with pre-existing cornea conditions, users of permanent or extended wear contact lenses, or those with weakened or suppressed immune systems.
“Our number one priority is the safety of our consumers, which is why we have voluntarily initiated this recall of Lash Abundance Boosting Serum,” stated Dominique Conseil, president of Aveda. “We are sorry for this inconvenience and any concern this has caused.”
The product launched to consumers circa February 12 in the United States, Canada and Australia and March 1st in limited European markets, and preview samples were distributed prior to that time.
According to the company, the recall affects all Lash Abundance Boosting Serum products and consumers should stop using this product and discard or return it immediately.
