Nail products Depend GelLack system, which comprises Depend GelLack Base, Depend GelLack Color, Depend GelLack Top and Depend Cleanser Base is being withdrawn from the market because it poses a serious risk, the Malta Competition and Consumers Affairs Authority said.

Consequently, consumers might develop a lifelong contact allergy.

The product, it said, did not comply with the Cosmetic Product Regulation and posed a serious risk to consumers.
