JoJo Siwa’s beauty products have been taken off the shelves because they contain traces of asbestos.

The make-up kits were removed from Claire’s accessories last week as part of an ongoing investigation by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The cosmetic kits, branded by Dance Moms star JoJo, contain eyeshadow, lip gloss and nail polish, which consumers have been warned to stop using immediately, by the FDA.

A statement issued on June 6, 2019 said: ‘Today, the FDA is releasing new results from its continued testing of cosmetic products for asbestos.

‘[It is] warning consumers to not use 2 additional products that have tested positive for asbestos & have been recalled.’

The FDA Safety Alert on Twitter featured a picture of JoJo’s beauty product, along with the SKU number and batch details.

Representatives for JoJo Siwa and Claire’s accessories have been contacted by Metro.co.uk for comment.

The voluntary recall is Claire’s fourth in three months but comes amid an abundance of caution on the retailer’s part.

JoJo’s make-up palettes are just one of a hundreds of products carrying the YouTuber’s name, including her trademark bows, games, books, and even a suitcase scooter.

The YouTuber – who has an estimated worth of $8 million (£6 million) – has over nine million followers on the video sharing platform alone.

The 16-year-old is worshipped by an army of pre-teens after a sharp rise to fame on the first two seasons of Dance Moms, back in 2015.

Among her famous fans are Kim Kardashian’s five-year-old daughter North West.
