Linde Eckstein Recalls SPF 10 Liquid Make-Up Due to Subpotent Drug

Linde Eckstein is recalling specific lots of Make Up Perfect sand SPF 10 liquid make-up because the SPF 10 protection claim cannot be fully guaranteed.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class III, which is defined as unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The hazard is a subpotent drug (SPF claim not guaranteed), which fits the Moderate category for minor labeling or efficacy issues without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Linde Eckstein Gmbh + Co KG is recalling specific lots of Make Up Perfect sand (Titanium Dioxide) SPF 10 liquid make-up. The product is a 1 oz (30 ml) bottle manufactured in Germany and distributed throughout the United States. The recall involves four specific lot numbers: 200917 (Exp 09/20/2017), 230218 (Exp 02/23/2018), 010918 (Exp 09/01/2018), and 140219 (Exp 02/14/2019).

The recall is classified as a subpotent drug issue. The products are labeled as having SPF 10 protection, but the manufacturer states that this claim cannot be 100% guaranteed. This means the actual sun protection factor may be lower than advertised.

Consumers with these specific lot numbers should stop using the product and follow instructions from the recalling firm or the FDA regarding disposal or return.
