The action took place after more than 150 consumers reported serious injuries to their eyes after using Cassu Braids ointment, to style their hair, manufactured by MicroFarma Indústria e Comércio. There were reports of swelling in the eye area and great eye irritation, pain and even difficulty seeing.
On January 5, the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) had decreed the sale of the product as prohibited. The first operation was performed on Tuesday (10). Anvisa reported that the company that manufactured the ointment did not have a health license to operate and had the release canceled in 2016.
In the last operation, carried out on January 12, Ivisa agents did not find the ointment being sold in Rio de Janeiro and all had already been withdrawn.
However, other products were found with irregularities and were promptly seized by the action. With that, shopkeepers will have up to seven days to present the invoice of the products for the proper identification of the distributors of these irregular cosmetics.
During the operation, around 101 products were seized, including: Master Hair, Twister, EWA, Trança Amiga, King Braids, KG Cosméticos and Barba Negra.
And it is worth mentioning: before consuming products of any cosmetic kind, make sure that there is Anvisa registration on the packaging, and also look for the expiry date of the product.
