A large number of designer and celebrity perfumes have been recalled due to a serious chemical risk. A total of 15 popular fragrances have been pulled from shelves after they were found to contain banned ingredients.
Savers Health and Beauty stores has issued a recall notice for the items. The banned chemicals may harm the reproductive system, health of an unborn child and may cause skin sensation.
Some of the perfumes, which includes CK One, Jean Paul Gaultier Classique and FCUK Original, contain hydroxyisohexyl 3-cyclohexene carboxaldehyde and butylphenyl methylpropional.
Savers said: “Customers should return any of the products, that contain these ingredients and were purchased at a Savers store, to the place of purchase, where they will be issued a full refund.
“Only the versions (barcodes) listed are affected by this recall. If you are unsure if you have one of the products, please speak to our store teams who will be happy to help.
“Savers would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.” For any further information, customers have been advised to contact help@savers.co.uk.

It isn’t the first time Savers has issued a recall for perfumes. In January, Hello by Lionel Richie and Hot by United Colours of Benetton Fragrances, were found to contain butylphenyl methylpropional (BMHCA), an ingredient banned from use in cosmetic products.
The Office for Product Safety and Standards said: “The products present a serious chemical risk as they contain butylphenyl methylpropional (BMHCA/lilial), which is prohibited in cosmetic products.
“BMHCA may harm the reproductive system, may harm the health of the unborn child, and may cause skin sensitisation. The products do not meet the requirements of Regulation (EC) 1223/2009.”
Meanwhile, in March, three Rihanna perfumes were recalled. The Rhianna 15ml fragrances — Kiss, Riri, and Rogue — were pulled from shelves due to certain ingredients being “prohibited” under UK regulations.
