VerifyVerification checklist

  • Packaging par batch code aur expiry confirm karein β€” recall specific batches par apply hota hai
  • Punjab DDCP / DRAP public alerts is brand ke liye dubara check karein
  • Ammoniated mercury, mercuric, calomel, mercurio label par dhoondein β€” label par na hona safety proof nahi
  • Recalled batch ho to use band karein, jar sealed bag mein rakhein, bachon se door
  • Bina label, repack, ya bohot sasta online jar na lein
  • Tez whitening claims par shak karein β€” mercury shortcuts medical care nahi hain

For ordinary cosmetics, check DRAP's public safety alerts and recalled-product notices for this brand β€” not every cosmetic requires a registration-number lookup.

ContextWhat users are trying to achieve
