Popular Hair Product Recalled Across Canada Over Packaging and Explosion Risk
Canadian consumers are being urged to check their bathroom cabinets after Health Canada issued a recall notice for a popular hair mousse product due to a dangerous packaging defect that could cause the can to leak or even explode under pressure.
What Product Is Affected?
The recalled item is the Schwarzkopf Professional Osis Grip Mousse, sold in 6.76 fl. oz. (200 ml) cans. The product was distributed nationwide across Canada and was widely available in salons and retail stores.
Why Was It Recalled?
According to Health Canada, the packaging defect poses a significant risk. Under pressure, the pressurized cans can leak or potentially explode, putting users at risk of burns or other injuries. One customer reportedly sustained bruising to the hand, and Henkel — the manufacturer behind the Schwarzkopf brand — also received two separate reports from salons related to the issue.
Who Is Responsible?
Henkel Corporation voluntarily initiated the recall. The company identified that certain lots of the Schwarzkopf Professional Osis Grip Mousse were affected by the packaging malfunction. The recall covers 25 specific lots of the product.
What Should Consumers Do?
Health Canada is advising anyone who owns the affected product to stop using it immediately. Consumers are encouraged to:
- Check the packaging for the specific lot numbers listed in the recall notice.
- Stop using the product if it matches the recalled批次.
- Contact Henkel for a full refund or replacement.
- Dispose of the product safely — do not puncture or attempt to open the can.
A Growing Concern
This recall is not limited to Canada alone. The United States has also seen a similar recall, with the FDA issuing updates on more than 72,000 affected cans. The issue highlights broader concerns about pressurized cosmetic product safety and the importance of rigorous quality control in packaging.
Stay Safe
If you or someone you know has been affected by this product or has experienced an injury related to the Schwarzkopf Professional Osis Grip Mousse, it is recommended to report the incident to Health Canada or the relevant consumer protection authority in your region.
Stay informed, stay safe, and always check for recall notices before using products in your home.
