The Spanish Agency of Medicines and Medical Devices has ordered the withdrawal from the market of all batches of the men's depilatory cream Men Depil under the shower of the brand Deliplus. This provision affects the product distributed by Mercadona and responds to deficiencies in the instructions for use that could put the user's health at risk.
Risk of overexposure due to lack of limitations
The regulatory body has acted after detecting safety problems related to the instructions for the article. The absence of clear restrictions prevented warning buyers about the dangers associated with applying the product to multiple body areas during the same day. Current regulations require specifying precise limits to avoid excessive exposure to chemical components, a requirement that the original labeling did not meet.
Tag Update and Resumption of Sales
After evaluating the risks, the AEMPS has authorized the modification of the instructions and precautions that must appear on the label. Once this correction is implemented, the manufacturer can proceed to market these products again. The copies that are already on shelves incorporate an explicit warning to ensure safe handling.
The new indication printed on the packaging warns that no more than one large area such as the chest, back, full arms, or entire legs should be waxed on the same day. This restriction seeks to prevent adverse reactions derived from the accumulation of chemical treatment on the skin. Consumers can consult these new guidelines before using the product and follow the updated recommendations to minimize any risk.
