Fakenews -- That's not asbestos....those are 'freedom fibers!'

So im guessing its NOT JeffreeStar approved

This is about as surprising as if you told me that their jewelry is 95% lead. Meaning it's not surprising. At all.

China has to dispose their toxic waste somehow.

CANCER IN THE FACE

I would like to meet someone who is caring, lovely and understanding i want to occupy this space in my heart,..inbox me please if interested Am looking for love.

JeffreeStar lmao I hope you saw this 😂😂😂😂😂

raindrops on roses

What y'all girls expect? The good shit? 😂😂

Actually, even some high end cosmetics companies use Chinese manufacturers.

Mizzcreativity2 Heard about this?

Yay out here poisoning children in the name of the mighty dollar 💵🙄🙄🙄 👎👎

Trace amounts of the naturally occurring asbestos are found in a myriad of mineral deposits. Minerals form the basis of powder and liquid makeup of all sorts. Finding asbestos in cosmetics is utterly unsurprising and not a cause for alarm at such low levels.

😳

The fact they initially refused to stop selling the products shows they care more about money than the health of their customers

Don’t buy makeup at Claire’s. Plus all of you people who get piercings there are stupid too. Go to a real piercing place. Not a store full of Chinese crap lead jewelry that uses a plastic tack gun pierce your kid’s ears.

My eyes are itchy.

TheJesssFam I think u bought addie makeup around Xmas time from here be careful!

I wonder about ALL cosmetics in the US that is made in China. I only purchase makeup made in the U.S, Canada or Parts of Europe or U.K.

... and no recall has been ordered. What’s a little asbestos between friends?

It’s fine! The word best is right in there.

for clean and natural cosmetics Made in America

HighersideChats I'm not sure, it's that better or worse than foreskin?

Well yea, it’s Claire’s.... 🙃

When you absolutely have to insulate your face!

Easiiv2 isn't this where you got your septum piercing?

So says the same government office (FDA) which allows steroids and antibiotics in our food. I don’t believe anything the FDA says. Not credible!

This is OLD NEWS! I heard about this last year. There is also LEAD in their jewelry. JUST KEEP AWAY from here for your children’s sake!

Update: Claire's initially refused the agency's request to recall those three products, according to FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb. In a statement Tuesday evening, Claire's said it had stopped selling the items in question.

Well pierce my ass and call me Traci, did you see this TraciReardon?!?!

BramtyJuliette

I hate this.

dawnresist In this day and age, why would anyone use any known carcinogen in anything? (just rhetorical, no need to respond)

Oh boy more talc news!

This is why we have GOVERNMENT. Your response Libertarians?

JeffreeStar shanedawson

This is concerning because I have a little sister that shops at these stores. If the FDA did not regulate and look into these products, we would have no clue as to what is safe to use. thankful osucohs okstateFFP

Not surprised. It’s Claire’s we are talking about. Their products are marked up and sub-par.

Actually, in 2017, a news station sent several of Justice products for testing. Three came back as have asbestos and heavy metals.

Even though they had the money, they should have went out of business instead of exiting their bankruptcy.

Can we all just do a make-up boycott already and flip this misogynist industry upside down?

maybe the weird club of moms who wanted to shut down Claire's in chrisfluming's Gayle Waters-Waters were onto something afterall...

“The proceedings do stop all civil litigation, so consumers wouldn’t be able to sue the company over the presence of asbestos.”

People who don't wear makeup anyway:

I just wanna know why this took two years to become public and for any action to take place.

you get what you pay for 🤷🏽‍♀️

Just a little poison

I used to work for Justice I wouldn’t be surprised 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Thats horrible

These motherfuckers! My kids use that makeup.

Asbestos takes years - DECADES, even - to affect your health from causing moderate problems to actually killing you. For some, it can take up to FORTY YEARS for an asbestos-related disease to show up in your body. Why isn't claires complying? Don't shop there. EVER. Claires

I rather let my kids play with REAL makeup products

Am I the only one that didn't know Claire's sold makeup? 😭 but then again I don't shop there and the last time I went was to get my 3rd hole (which closed up 😩)

There are still malls?

Aren't they supposed to be dead

Dump em

Claire's is just a small child she doesn’t know what asbestos are.

asbestos makeup, antifreeze toothpaste, lead toys. they love us. china

I thought Claire’s was bankrupt?

Makes me wonder if Claire and Justice are the only ones with asbestos in them? 😱😨😰😰😰

When are people going to accept the fact that Claire’s as a whole is trash? The fact that unsanitary piercing guns are even still allowed to be used, and is chose to be used says a lot as it is. Now this? Throw the whole chain away.

Close them down

Trump is bringing back asbestos

Great

That shit did always make me break out worse than anything else

Even their piercing stuff gets people’s ear infected (personally experience) so I’m not surprised

Fucking knew it

....wtf?!

Tea

I love Claire’s. I get all my hair accessories there. I almost started buying their makeup, but changed my mind after realizing the quality of the ingredients. I’ve had a healthy amount of suspicion ever since then.

I didn’t even know Claire’s sold make up 🤣🤣

Okay, seriously, that store didn’t close after the 80’s? 🤯

realDonaldTrump loves asbestos. He says its okay.

jendarlingg

Are you surprised? Everything in their is made in China, Korea, India.

Claire’s is trash I’m really surprised it’s been around for this long

LibertyJen

None manufactured in usa

unbelievable, companies really have no problem using dangerous ingredients and selling them to kids for profit.

WTF, Claire's still exists? I thought that store began & ended in the mid 2000's!!

claires makeup has been found by the FDA to contain asbestos, but Claires refuses to recall it. That right there shows you they care more about their money than their customers. Boycott Claires.

If you want to buy your kids makeup at least buy wet n wild, Catrice, LA girl. You can get decent makeup really cheap & not worry about your kid putting lead/asbestos on their face. Use your head people ! Cosmetics in toy dept probably not kid skin friendly !

I smell a CLEARANCE SALE!!!!

not even surprised at this point

I hate this phase but it’s appropriate “we been knew”

BramtyJuliette

How is Claire's still a thing?

DiontreJ

my ears got infected when i first got them pierced, and didn't get better until i got new earrings from another jewelry store

First off what “makeup” it’s jewelry & accessories and if anyone bought makeup from Claire’s well that’s a problem all in itself! Go to Sephora, Ulta or Bloomies girlfriends👄💄👛

I worked at Claire’s when I was a teenager and am still shocked that they let me pierce peoples ears with like, 1/2 day of training.

I got my ears pierced by them, got an allergic reaction which by their supposed “white gold”

What do you expect from junk that’s made in other countries (China) I would rather pay more for items made in the US. At least we have some type of control over manufacturing.

_kaitlin_hall

This is the 2nd or 3rd time Claire’s has had some lethal shit in their products.

I’m so happy my mom never allowed me to buy makeup from there when I was in the 6th grade 💀🤢

Help me Rhonda! TraciReardon

Thing is...why are you buying makeup from Claire's?

Don’t let this distract you from the fact that If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with Mesothelioma you may be entitled to financial compensation.

Asbestis ...Umm.... it's Claires & I bet all those shiny 'jewelry' pieces probably have lead in it.

Asbestos can be found in minerals from beneath the ground. Talc sometimes contains it. The worst form of asbestos is dust or powder.

ok and we recalled these three products and I smashed them in pieces are u happy

I haven’t been to Claire’s since I was 16.

claires that’s really bad!

JeffreeStar

got mesothelioma at claire’s

Aren’t a lot of their products sourced from China? If so this is a supply chain issue and the FDA usually tests makeup products so I wonder why this got past?

Poisoning us in every way possible!!

And no recall yet either. Nothing says we care about our customers better than a hearty f*** you!

This is why you should always have federal oversight on commerce. Regulations are necessary for the safety and well being of our citizens.

I remember doing a report on dangerous beauty and Claire’s seems to have had more than one incident before this. They need to go.

Claires will be sued by the cosmetic company responsible for this if they pull the product, that's how powerful the beauty corporations are, only 9 ingredients are illegal to put into cosmetics in the U.S., it's time to go after these beauty corporations!

JeffreeStar

Why do I feel like this is something JeffreeStar would have strong opinions about... 🤔🤔🤔

Oh that’s grosss.

No recall issued...why?

I’m more shocked that the US still has an FDA!

I felt like this was the store for fast ass little girls but that’s facts tho.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with Mesothelioma you may to be entitled to financial compensation.

Kinda like how their 'sensitive' or nickel-free jewelry is still causing lots of people to have allergic reactions

JeffreeStar not today

I remember i went to Claires with my friends back in 2017 when they first found asbestos in their make up and i told them 'better not buy the makeup here its got asbestos' and the lady behind the counter was like 'aCtUaLlY wE dOnT'..... BITCH SKSKSJSHSK YOUR WRONG

Not that surprised tbh

That's why most people over 12 only buy from Etsy for natural & organic skincare . store bought stuff is chemical laden,carcinogenic and cruel(animal testing)

THANK YOU TRUMP

Ewwwww!!! JeffreeStar

So when do we get radium watch dials back? Anyone want to gofundme a DDT production plant? WTAF IS GOING ON HERE! Did we just somehow erase EVERYTHING we learned the hard way in the last century?

JeffreeStar after you just mentioned Claire’s in your video 😐

JeffreeStar maybe you shouldn't go

Most of their crap makeup is tested on animals too; buy CrueltyFree BanAnimalTesting

Delicious

I feel bad for the girls who’ve used their makeup.

Who buys make up at Claire’s ....

WE ALL WERE ROOTING FOR YOU!!

Buy 3 get 3 free, though..😁

The head of the FDA just resigned today. Is that unrelated or is this story going to blow up somehow?

Like...how?

thelittleradish FYI for Sloane

Claire’s needs to stop

Shop the look: Mesothelioma

But it’s buy 3 get 3 free 😂 what a surprise!

Curious as to where it’s manufactured?

are we surprised?

CanalesHeav

Disgusting considering their target consumers are the tweens age group.

All the beauty gurus who used that shit for makeup challenges must be

I really don't think any makeup is completely safe. It's all being absorbed into your skin and it's all chemicals

JeffreeStar stay away. Get your ears pierced elsewhere

A little asbestos never hurt anybody

makeup_sug oh no

Does asbestos make me prettier though?

CLAIRRRREEEEE’SSSSS

Trust no one

But that's why the stuff is so good.

Manufacturing the makeup asbestos they can!

Sephora & ultabeauty would neva...

STOP USING COSMETICS OR KEEP HURTING YOURSELF. YOUR CHOICE,

Where are the products made? USA? China?

Hope it wasn't the lollipops
