What Is Claire's Asbestos Concern?
Claire's is a global retailer selling accessories, jewelry, and cosmetics. In early 2024, U.S. regulators reported asbestos traces in certain Claire's products. The company paused sales of those items and launched further testing.
Which Claire's Products Were Affected?
Testing focused on cosmetic and makeup items sold in Claire's stores and online. Some products showed trace levels of asbestos, a known carcinogen. Claire's removed the affected products and updated its quality checks.
How Can You Check Your Products?
You can review product labels and batch codes on Claire's packaging. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration offers guidance on asbestos in cosmetics at fda.gov/cosmetics. If you suspect a product is contaminated, stop using it and contact Claire's customer service.
