First Aid Beauty has announced a recall of over 2,500 jars of its Ultra Repair Cream in Coconut Vanilla due to a manufacturing issue. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) confirmed that the affected product was mistakenly released and sold through FirstAidBeauty.com, despite being intended for quarantine due to compliance concerns.
The recall affects products bearing the lot codes 24D44 and 24D45, with expiration dates of April 10, 2026, and April 11, 2026, respectively. This action follows the FDA's enforcement notice, highlighting violations of the Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) regulations. These regulations are critical in ensuring that products are produced consistently and meet quality standards.
The CGMP framework provides systems that assure proper design, monitoring, and control of manufacturing processes and facilities.
