Primark Nose Piercing and Body Bars Due to High Levels of Nickel; Risk of Skin Irritation
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The nose piercings and body bars have elevated levels of nickel, posing a risk of skin irritation.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
