Health Canada warns about children's pretend shaving set

Health Canada has issued a recall notice for the foaming soap component of the "Rub-A-Dub Shaving in the Tub" children's shaving kit.
The agency says the body soap lacks the mandatory hazardous-product warning label required for potentially explosive products. The lack of labelling information could lead to serious risks.
Approximately 1,500 kits – consisting of the foaming soap, a plastic toy razor, a shaving brush, a comb and a mirror – were sold across Canada.
Alex-Panline USA Inc. manufactured the product.
Health Canada says parents should take the foaming soap away from children and dispose of the product.
Health Canada has not had any reports of illness or injury from the soap.
