Little Girls Kit

It was brought to my attention today that despite all their other "Old School" colors and collections being listed GlitterSniffer Cosmetics has removed the pictures for the Little Girls Kit from their Facebook Fan Page which I originally posted about here. The Little Girls Kit was recalled in December 2010 as having been made with ingredients unapproved for eye use.

Here is the original screenshot as it appeared on the GlitterSniffer Cosmetics Fan Page as of 1/1/11, edited only to remove personally identifying information.

GlitterSniffer Cosmetics recommends this unsafe collection for use on a 4 year old
Here are product shots of the collection:




2/10/11 ETA: Correct a typo in the GlitterSniffer Cosmetics name in the first paragraph.

Child Safety

I contacted PIRGIM, a public interest group based in Michigan that handles issues involving child safety, and Kids in Danger, a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting children by improving children's product safety.

I outlined the issue and included a link to the Little Girls Kit and the recall list. I also pointed out the following comment on the product, which illustrates that it was indeed intended for children (edited to remove identifying information and Facebook HTML):

 I have screenshots of both the product and the comment should either of them be removed from the site.
