A nail kit called Depend GelLack has been withdrawn from the market because it contains chemicals that could damage both the nails and hands. The kit includes base, colour, top and cleanser.

Consumers are asked to return it

The Malta Competition and Consumers Affairs Authority said that the kit poses a chemical hazard and users could develop a lifelong contact allergy. The kit does not comply with the Cosmetic Product Regulation.

Consumers are asked to return the kit to the outlet and sellers to remove it from the market. Failure to do so could make them liable to enforcement action.
