More than 4,000 bottles of nail polish remover sold on Amazon are being urgently recalled over fears they could cause cancer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Chinese manufacturer Morovan issued the alert for its Gel Nail polish remover after tests revealed it contained the toxic substances methylene chloride and chloroform.<\/p>\n

Both are banned in cosmetic products. In animal tests, methylene chloride<\/a> has been linked to a higher risk of breast, liver, lung, brain and blood cancer, while chloroform has also been linked to cancer and organ damage.<\/p>\n

Chloroform is also known for its ability to paralyze nerves, leaving someone unconscious or, in serious cases, causing death after stopping them from breathing.<\/p>\n

The nail polish remover was sold in 0.5 fluid ounce (15 milliliter) square turquoise bottles with a white cap, which were sold in a green packaging box.<\/p>\n

They were available on Amazon between August 2025 and January of this year.<\/p>\n

No illnesses or injuries linked to the nail polish have been reported to date.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Consumers have been urged to stop using the product immediately, throw it out and contact the manufacturer for a refund.<\/p>\n
