NCC recalls women's Mitchum roll-on products due to safety concerns

The National Consumer Commission (NCC) has recalled some of Revlon’s Mitchum women’s roll-on products due to safety concerns.

In a statement released on Monday, the commission said it was informed by the company that a recent change in their manufacturing process of a raw material had affected the acidity levels, which may cause irritation to the skin.

About 124,000 units, which were distributed since April, have been identified as the affected batches.

NCC spokesperson, Phetho Ntaba, has urged consumers to return the products to their nearest retailers.

"We say to South African consumers, do look at the batch number, do look at the name of the brand or the flavour they are of. And then of course, if your product is affected, do not use or discontinue use the product immediately and return it back to the point of purchase. We understand that in some consumers, particularly those with sensitive skin or compromised skin, they may actually experience contact dermatitis."
