The U.S. Food and Drug Administration continues to find asbestos in talc-based beauty products, leading to recalls. 
According to KFVS-TV, earlier this month, the FDA issued a safety alert regarding Beauty Plus products, saying it found asbestos in four items, leading to a recall. The products include:
- Beauty Plus Global Inc. City Color Collection Matte Blush (Fuchsia), SKU #849136008807, Lot No. 1605020/PD-840
- Beauty Plus Global Inc. City Color Cosmetics Timeless Beauty Palette, SKU #849136012958, Lot No. 1510068/PD-C864R
- Beauty Plus Global Inc. City Color Bronzer (Sunset), SKU #849136016017, Lot No. 160634/PD-P712M
- Beauty Plus Global Inc. Beauty Plus Global Inc. City Color Shimmer Bronzer (Caramel), SKU #849136017106, Lot No. 1612112/PD-840
This is the second major asbestos-related recall involving makeup or beauty products this year, as the FDA told consumers not to use Claire’s JoJo Siwa Makeup Set and Beauty Plus Global Effects Palette 2 in March. Most of the products contain talc.
Keep in mind, talc product manufacturers like Johnson & Johnson and Colgate-Palmolive Co. are currently facing multi-million dollar litigation with people claiming to have developed mesothelioma due to using items that were laced with asbestos.
Asbestos exposure has also been linked to stomach cancer, throat cancer and kidney cancer, in addition to mesothelioma.
