The company, L'Oréal SA, is recalling all of its Effaclar Duo acne treatment products in the U.S. over concerns that the creams are contaminated with benzene, a known carcinogen, Bloomberg reports.
L'Oréal's Effaclar Duo, sold under the French company's La Roche-Posay brand, is made with benzoyl peroxide, which kills bacteria to help treat acne.
Valisure, an independent laboratory in Connecticut, had raised concerns about benzene contamination a year ago in many popular benzoyl peroxide products and asked the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to recall the contaminated treatments.
The FDA did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the possibility of recalling more acne products.
