Products forming part of this recall include the 100g, 200g and 400g pack sizes of Purity Essentials Baby Powder.
Furthermore, since the announcement, Tiger Brands has dropped more than two percent in sales to recall baby products.
This comes after the batch of raw material with the detected trace levels of asbestos did not meet the Company’s strict quality and safety standards.
Tiger Brands says the company had to make the decision to initiate a product recall of the affected products after consultation with the National Consumer Commission.
Tiger Brands is working with its retail and wholesale customers to remove all affected Baby Powder products from store shelves.
