Why these products were recalled

cGMP Deviations: The recall was initiated due to detected trace levels of benzene in a specific lot of this product lot (MYX46W), however out of an abundance of caution, the firm voluntarily recalled all La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo Dual Action Acne Treatment lots.

Chemical Contamination: This recall has been initiated due to detected trace levels of benzene.

The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.

The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
