The FDA has warned the Brazilian Blowout hair care company that its hair straightening products contain “dangerously high levels” of formaldehyde. It ordered the firm to reduce levels of the liquid chemical or face removal of the items from the marketplace.
The FDA says in a news release that Brazilian Blowout products are “adulterated” and misbranded, containing misleading labels and advertising that falsely claim the products are formaldehyde-free.
