by Beyondboders

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has issued a warning to Nigerians about a recalled Nivea deodorant.

The specific product is the Nivea Black & White Invisible Roll-On, 50ml, which is marketed to provide 48-hour protection suitable for African climates. This recall comes after a warning from the European Union Rapid Alert System in Brussels.

In an announcement on Thursday, NAFDAC revealed that the product has batch number 93529610.

NAFDAC explained that this batch contains a chemical, 2-(4-tert-Butylbenzyl) propionaldehyde, which is banned in cosmetics due to health risks.

“The recalled Nivea product is reported to contain 2-(4-tert-Butylbenzyl) propionaldehyde, a chemical prohibited in cosmetic products due to its potential to cause harm to the reproductive system, impair the health of an unborn child, and cause skin irritation and burns to users,” NAFDAC stated.
