NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. regulators are warning people not to use certain Claire’s makeup products because tests confirmed they contained asbestos.

The Food and Drug Administration says Claire’s refused its request for a recall, and that the agency doesn’t have the power to force one. The company says they have removed the products in question: Claire’s Eye Shadows, Compact Powder and Contour Pallette, adding “there is no evidence that any products sold by Claire’s are unsafe.”

The FDA said it learned of reports of asbestos in products sold by retailers Claire’s and Justice in 2017. Justice issued a recall that year. Claire’s removed products from stores but didn’t issue a recall.

Cosmetics don’t need FDA approval. Tuesday’s warning comes after the FDA said its tests confirmed asbestos in one Justice product and the three Claire’s products.
