LIFESTYLE NEWS - Dark and Lovely has done a voluntary recall of one of their products after they received complaints from hair users.
Earlier this week the National Consumer Commission (NCC) urged consumers in possession of certain Dark and Lovely Precise Diamond Straight and Shine relaxer 125 ml tubs with certain batch numbers “to immediately discontinue use of the product and return it to the point of sale for a full refund.”
The commission said they were informed by Dark and Lovely after they were alerted by 22 complaints from consumers.
Acting Consumer Commissioner, Ms Thezi Mabuza said Loreal, which owns Dark and Lovely, informed them of the voluntary recall.
“We urge South Africans who are in possession of Dark and Lovely Precise Diamond Straight and Shine relaxer 125 ml tub to return the product o the point of purchase for a refund.
