EU Safety Gate · Report-2021-2

Garnier · Fructis Hair Food

Due to its characteristic appearance, form, colour and size, the product may be mistaken for foodstuff by a child or vulnerable person. The probability of the product being ingested is low, but it could be dangerous because the product contains surfactants. These are foaming agents that, when aspired, can cause chemical pneumonia. Chemical pneumonia can be fatal in children and the elderly. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Food Imitating Directive
