Goop Sunscreen Gets Pulled From Shelves (The Fashion Law)
Federal health inspectors in Canada have ordered a Goop pop-up in Toronto to pull two Beautycounter sunscreen products from its shelves. Apparently the issue was with the product packaging. “Two sunscreens with U.S. packaging from a third-party brand were inadvertently sent to Canada,” Goop said in a statement. “Canadian regulations require different packaging. The product itself is compliant with Canadian regulations and is the same formula as sold in the U.S. The packaging issue has been fixed, and we have reached out to Health Canada to ensure our entire assortment exceeds their standards.”
