Children’s Face Paint Are Being Recalled Due To An Adverse Reactions. Children’s Face Paints are being recalled today, following reports of adverse reactions such as skin rashes in children who used the paints. Like so many tainted products, the recalled face paints, which were distributed by the Oriental Trading Company, were made in China.
According to the Food & Drug Administration (FDA), the face paints involved in this recall include the following:
The FDA said it has learned of a cluster of adverse events in children exposed the face paint. All exposures occurred on the same day at an organized event and included rashes, itchiness, burning sensation, and swelling where the face paints were applied. Significant microbial contamination was indicated in most of the products in testing by an FDA laboratory.
The face paints, manufactured by Shanghai Color Art Stationery Company Limited, Shanghai, China, are being voluntarily recalled by Fun Express Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oriental Trading Co.
The FDA is advising consumers to stop use of these products and discard them or return them to the retailer. The agency is also encouraging consumers and health care providers to report any adverse events from face paints to the FDA as well as to state and local health authorities.
Chinese imports have been the subject of safety concerns over the past several years. Since 2007, toys, tires, toothpaste, pet foods and dozens of other Chinese products have been recalled by various US government agencies for dangerous defects.
