FDA Recalls Morovan Nail Polish Remover Sold on Amazon for Banned Chemicals

The case highlights gaps in policing small imported cosmetics sold on online marketplaces.

Overview

  • The FDA recall posted Monday covers about 4,000 bottles of Morovan Gel Nail Polish Remover.
  • Tests found methylene chloride and chloroform in the product, chemicals the FDA bans in cosmetics because they pose cancer and other health risks.
  • The 15 mL turquoise bottles were made in China on Feb. 7, 2024, sold on Amazon from August 2025 through January 2026, and listed by Hongkong Yiixin Trading Limited operating as Nails Studio.
  • Buyers are told to stop using the remover, write “Recalled” on the bottle and box, throw it out under local rules, and email a photo to customer-service@morovan.com to receive a refund.
  • No injuries have been reported, and the action spotlights how hazardous ingredients can slip into low-cost beauty items sold online until testing brings them to regulators’ attention.
