Earlier this month, Kmart pulled a “hyaluronic acid cleansing balm” from its shelves, after a teen who used the skincare product was hospitalised, reporting eye pain and blurred vision. It’s unclear what ingredient caused this reaction.
In a statement, Kmart said it was removing the product while conducting an investigation. The retailer also said: “We want to assure our customers that our cosmetics are designed to ensure that they comply with both Australian and European requirements on ingredients.”
