What was recalled
This recall involves traditional kohl products, Mumtaz - Herbal Kajal With Almond Oil for Sensitive Eyes and Al-Asmad Alharmain Zam Zam & Rose Water.
Why it was recalled
The recalled products contain lead above the impurity limits outlined in the Guidance on Heavy Metal Impurities in Cosmetics.
Lead is toxic, especially to children. A range of serious health effects have been associated with exposure to lead, including anemia, vomiting, diarrhea, serious brain injury, convulsions, coma, as well as effects related to the liver, kidneys, heart and immune system. In extreme cases, there have been deaths. Since lead builds up in the body, ongoing exposure to even very small amounts of lead can result in large amounts of lead being present in the body.
As of August 28, 2026, the company has received no reports of incident or injury in Canada.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled product and return it to Sara Islamic Store for a refund.
