Perfect Image Solutions has recalled several of its topical products that are advertised as promoting hair growth, as well as slowing or stopping hair loss, because the Food and Drug Administration has deemed them “unapproved new drugs,” and they may present potential health hazards, the FDA reported today.

The recalled products were distributed nationwide or worldwide via the Internet and include:

•Men's Minoxidil 15 percent Azelaic 5 percent Hair regrowth topical (60mL), expiration up until Oct. 2013, UPC 736211275813.

•Hair regrowth shampoo enhanced with Ketoconazole and salicylic acid (180mL), expiration up until Dec. 2013, UPC 736211276414.

The affected recalled products are packaged in glass-dropper containers or plastic shampoo bottles, and are sold in single units.

The recalled topical products containing 15 percent and 10 percent Minoxidil have not been shown to be safe, and could pose a risk to the general public due to the possibility of systemic absorption.
