Claire’s, which markets their products to young girls and teens, has more than 2,400 locations in North America and Europe.

The FDA said it found three products — eyeshadow, compact powder and contour powder — from Claire’s that contained asbestos.

Claire’s said it removed the products from stores and will remove any talc-based products. Talc is the substance that sometimes contains asbestos.
