Overview
- OPSS ordered a customer recall of Hello by Lionel Richie and Benetton Hot fragrances sold at Savers after identifying the banned ingredient BMHCA.
- Only items bought at Savers with the specified barcodes are in scope, and customers are instructed to return them for a full refund.
- BMHCA, also known as lilial, is flagged by regulators for potential harm to the unborn child and the reproductive system and for causing skin sensitisation.
- The action escalates an OPSS warning issued last month to a full recall this week following product testing and regulatory review.
- The affected list includes Benetton Hot 100ml and multiple Hello by Lionel Richie Femme and Homme sizes, and Savers has apologised and directed queries to help@savers.co.uk.
