Every day, new product recalls emerge. And the least we can say is that they continue to worry consumers. Recently, the government website Rappel Conso launched the alert about a item sold at Action.
An Action product urgently recalled
The Rappel Conso site was created several years ago with the aim of alerting consumers to products that they should no longer use or consume. One thing is certain, it is a site which clearly proves to be of great help.
Thanks to him, all French people can know the products that represent a danger to their safety or even for their health. This Thursday, December 19, Rappel Conso alerted about an item found in Action stores.
Sold throughout France, you should no longer use Nuage talc-free baby powder of 284 grams. Health authorities have noted significant non-compliance which clearly endangers the health of consumers.

The lots affected by this recall have a GTIN code: 5053249268132 and lot numbers: 2023304822 and 2024052175. Marketed between January 1, 2024 and November 14, 2024, it is a product that should definitely no longer be used.
If this alert was issued, it is because of a serious anomaly detected during quality checks. The products concerned have a microbial limit which exceeds the safety threshold. In any case, this is what Rappel Conso declared.
This contamination could lead to several health risks, including allergic reactions, skin irritations or more serious infections. Babies, who are particularly vulnerable, remain the first to be affected by this alert.
A danger in stores
Faced with this situation, health authorities have insisted that it is no longer necessary to use Action baby powder from the batches concerned. You must also return the product to the point of sale. The stores will then issue a full refund for the products returned.
And this, without requiring proof of purchase. This procedure aims to limit the risks incurred by consumers as much as possible. But also to prevent any future use of the product in question.

Action immediately responded by removing the affected products from its shelves. The brand is also working with health authorities to inform its customers, via displays in its stores and on its digital channels.
Consumers who have already purchased this product are encouraged to pass on the information to those around them. A Significant vigilance is necessary. Particularly for families who would use this product on infants or young children.
This recall once again highlights the importance of quality controls in consumer products. And this, especially in low-price brands like Action, where sales volumes are also significant.
If you have one of the lots affected by this product recall, don’t wait to act. For any questions or additional information, you can also contact Action customer service directly.
