Company Announcement

Rocky Hill, CT -- Henkel Corporation ("Henkel") is voluntarily recalling its Schwarzkopf Professional Osis Grip 6.76 fl. Oz/200 ml sold in the United States due to a potential packaging issue in which product could leak from the package under pressure, which creates a risk of explosion.

The Schwarzkopf Professional Osis Group 6.76 Oz/200ml comes in aluminum cans in 25 Lots with Batch Codes:
2901X4577N, 2901X4578N, 290265P91O, 290665Q30O, 290855N31O, 290866R38P, 290994281N, 291046L06P, 291174W17N, 291435H76O, 291435H77O, 291455N33O, 291515A59O, 291515A99O, 291515B01O, 291555N33O, 291615B01O, 291616B68P, 291716B69P, 291825E960, 291925E96O, 292015B73O, 2928Y538BO, 2928Y539BO, 293066U32P
on the back side of the bottle and was distributed in the United States through 21 distributors in the following states: Alaska, Arizona, California, Florida, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, and Washington. It was also sold to hair professionals and consumers at the retail level. No other Henkel products are subject to this recall, and Schwarzkopf Professional Osis Grip 6.76 fl. Oz/200ml with codes not included in the recall are safe to use.

Henkel learned about this situation through one customer complaint and two salon reports. Bruising on the hand was reported by the customer and no other injuries were identified.

Henkel is conducting this voluntary recall with the knowledge of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

As part of Schwarzkopf Professional's commitment to consumers, those who have purchased the applicable Schwarzkopf Professional Osis Grip 6.76 fl. Oz/200ml are encouraged to return them to their place of purchase for a full refund.

Schwarzkopf Professional seeks to minimize all inconvenience this may cause consumers and is committed to their complete satisfaction. Questions may be directed to dedicated customer specialists at 1-800-234-4672 during the hours of Monday-Thursday 6:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. and Friday 6:00 a.m. - 12 p.m. Pacific Time.
