Amazon and other platforms have urgently removed the product from the shelves, and another five-star hit has fallen into disrepair!

The best-selling product that was popular both at home and abroad has fallen from grace

In China, young people born after 1995 are "loyal fans" of teeth whitening products, but abroad, various teeth whitening products are popular among consumers of all ages.

On Amazon , products related to teeth whitening are selling like hot cakes, with many of them being best-sellers. Among them, one of the most popular teeth whitening pens has more than 11,000 five-star reviews on Amazon .

The product details page shows that the product is made of a slow-acting bleaching agent and can be used for a long time. Consumers only need to slide it gently on their teeth to see obvious whitening effects. Some consumers commented that the product works quickly and well, and their teeth became noticeably whiter after three days of use. It is definitely worth six stars!

Seeing this business opportunity, many businesses have joined the wave of "technological beauty teeth" and reaped the benefits. However, this "magic category" that is popular in various countries has recently been urgently deleted and removed from multiple platforms such as Amazon and eBay !

Amazon, eBay and other platforms have removed illegal dental products

The editor learned that a survey by the British consumer organization Which? showed that the teeth whitening kits that have been popular on major social platforms recently have safety risks. Some gel products have been found to contain excessive hydrogen peroxide (bleaching agent), which poses a risk of burning consumers' gums.

Which? said that of the 36 kits tested , 21 had excessive levels of bleaching agents, with one product containing 300 times more than the standard. Such dental whitening products are being promoted and sold hotly on major platforms, which is bound to threaten consumers' health.

It is reported that the hydrogen peroxide content of teeth whitening products should not exceed 0.1%, but the test found that the hydrogen peroxide content of 6 sets of products was higher than 10%. On the AliExpress platform, the hydrogen peroxide content of a bleaching gel set even reached 30.7%.

In response, AliExpress said: "We take product safety very seriously. After receiving the investigation results, we took prompt action to delete all illegal product listings."

Amazon said that safety is Amazon's top priority, and if consumers have questions about the products they purchased, we encourage them to contact customer service directly so that we can investigate and take appropriate action.

eBay and Wish also stated that sellers must comply with platform regulations, and the platform will take action against sellers who violate the regulations, and illegal products will also be removed.

Last year, a BBC investigation revealed the dangers of substandard teeth whitening products causing people to burn their gums.

This time, all major platforms have taken action to remove illegal products from the shelves, and the once popular products have "fallen from the altar". The editor would like to remind all sellers to carefully understand the ingredients and content of the products when selecting products, and not to blindly put them on the shelves just to catch up with the trend, otherwise they will lose the big picture.
