Milbar Laboratories, Inc.: Various Skincare Products Recalled for Manufacturing Quality Violations

Agency Publication Date: November 17, 2020

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Milbar Laboratories is voluntarily recalling 42,394 units of various skincare products, including acne cleansers, shampoos, and moisturizers sold under brands like DCL, Malin + Goetz, and MD Complete. These products were manufactured in violation of Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) requirements, which means the safety and effectiveness of the products cannot be guaranteed. Consumers should contact their healthcare provider or pharmacist for guidance regarding the use of these items and may return unused products to the place of purchase for a refund.

Risk

Deviations from Good Manufacturing Practices indicate that the facility's quality control processes were insufficient, potentially leading to products that do not meet safety, identity, or purity standards. This poses a moderate risk as these topical products may contain incorrect ingredient levels or unspecified contaminants that could irritate the skin or fail to treat the intended condition.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your product packaging for the brand names DCL (Dermatologic Cosmetic Laboratories), Malin + Goetz, MD Complete, Willa, or 360 Therapeutics.
  2. Verify if your specific product and lot number are included in this recall by checking for identifiers such as DCL Active Mattifying Cleanser (Lot FW937), DCL B Prox10 Anti-Blemish Wash (Lots MV098-4, JW995, Fx381), or Malin + Goetz SPF 30 face moisturizer (Lot AW761-9).
  3. Stop using any affected skincare product immediately if your lot number and expiration date match the recall list.
  4. Contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist if you have experienced any adverse skin reactions or if you have concerns about your skin treatment after using these products.
  5. Return any unused portion of the recalled products to the pharmacy or retail store where they were purchased to request a refund.
  6. Contact Milbar Laboratories or the specific brand distributor for further instructions on returning products or obtaining more information.
  7. For additional questions, contact the FDA Consumer Complaint hotline at 1-888-723-3332 (1-888-SAFEFDA) or visit www.fda.gov/safety/recalls.
