What Is This Recall About?
Unilever, the global producer behind brands like Dove, Suave, Tresemme, TIGI – Rockaholic, and Bedhead, is voluntarily recalling certain dry shampoo aerosol cans manufactured before October 2021. This recall has been initiated due to the detection of benzene, a known carcinogen, in these products. Benzene exposure is associated with serious health risks such as leukemia and bone marrow failure.
Consumers who have purchased the affected products can claim compensation through checks or vouchers, with one product claim allowed without proof of purchase. Claims for multiple products require proof of purchase.
