Boots shoppers told to stop using skin product ‘immediately’

An urgent recall has been issued for the Hello Sunday The One For Your Eyes Mineral Eye Cream SPF50 after recent quality testing revealed it has a lower SPF level than is listed on the label.

Hello Sunday said they were “voluntarily” recalling the eye cream, which had been sold at Boots and TK Maxx, after testing reported lower SPF levels than declared.

As a result, the product may not provide adequate protection and could increase the risk of sun-related skin damage.

Boots and Tk Maxx are urging anyone who bought the eye cream, to “stop using it immediately” and return it for a full refund.

The recall affects all batch numbers and expiring dates.

A Tk Maxx spokesman said: “Recent quality testing of Hello Sunday – The One for Your Eyes – Eye Cream SPF 50 has shown a significant discrepancy in its labelled sun protection.

“Initial tests indicated compliance with SPF 50, but later analyses reported lower SPF levels than declared.

“As a result, the product may not provide adequate protection and may increase the risk of sun-related skin damage.

“If you’ve purchased this product, please stop using it immediately and return to any TK Maxx store.”

A Boots spokesman added: “Recent test results by the brand showed the product failed to meet the level of SPF stated on the product label.

“As such, the product is being immediately recalled.

“Customers are asked to stop using the product immediately and to return the product to the point of sale for a full refund.

“If customers purchased the product through an authorised retail partner, they should contact them directly for a refund.

“If you purchased the product from Boots, please return to your local store for a refund.”

Hello Sunday said they had not received reports of any incidents related to the issue, but were still “proactively and voluntarily recalling” the product.
