The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has classified a popular facial moisturizer as having the second-highest risk level.
First Aid Beauty has voluntarily recalled a popular facial moisturiser across the United States, prompting the Food and Drug Administration to assign the recall the second-highest risk categorization.
According to Newsweek, when First Aid Beauty recalled 2,756 jars of its Ultra Repair Cream on December 23, 2025, the FDA stated that the cause for the recall was the company’s failure to fulfill the safety guidelines required for medicinal product efficacy.
The Food and Drug Administration characterizes the recall as the “firm’s removal or correction of a marketed product that the FDA considers to be in violation of the laws we administer and against which we would initiate legal action.”
On Tuesday, January 21, 202, the agency classified the recall as a Class II risk, which implies that using or being exposed to the product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health effects with a remote possibility of major adverse health consequences.
Moreover, the FDA stated in its cosmetics recall policy: “In addition to the corrective actions of removing a violative product from the market and either destroying it or bringing it into compliance, (cosmetic firms) should take the kind of corrective actions that prevent a similar problem from occurring in the future.”
“For example, you should determine why the violation occurred, determine what changes you should make to keep the problem from happening again, and implement those changes,” the author says.
Notably, cosmetic items are not as frequently recalled from the market as pharmaceuticals or food, but consumers should be aware of the risks associated with these goods.
