EcoLips Sport Lip Balm

Class II — Moderate risk. May cause temporary or reversible harm; serious harm unlikely.

Why it was recalled

Superpotent Drug: The active ingredient, avobenzone, is used at 5% which is higher than the allowable 3% in the sunscreen formula per FDA sunscreen regulations.

Cause type: Wrong potency / content

Sub- or super-potent product, or a failed content-uniformity / assay test. You may receive too little or too much active ingredient - a direct dosing risk. All wrong potency / content recalls.

FDA recall number
D-1310-2020 · FDA notice

Check, then ask. Class II means harm is possible but usually temporary or reversible. Find the lot number on your package; if it matches, ask your pharmacist about a replacement. Do not simply stop a prescribed medication on your own - the gap can be riskier than the recall. This recall is now terminated, which means the firm has finished removing the affected product; anything on pharmacy shelves today should be unaffected.
