L'Oréal's product recalls
3 official recall notices between May 2025 and May 2025 were matched to L'Oréal and brands it owned at the time, including La Roche-Posay.
Each notice concerns the specific products, sizes and lot codes it names. A recall does not mean that other L'Oréal products are affected, and a count of notices is not a measure of safety: one incident can produce a notice for every pack size.
Covers only notices from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration enforcement reports (openFDA), USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service recalls, UK Food Standards Agency food alerts and U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recalls that could be matched to L'Oréal: the recalling firm must be L'Oréal, a parent or a subsidiary, and for a brand the brand name must appear in the product description.
