Cosmetics Recalled in Fear of Eye Injury

Tori Laboratories Inc. has recalled all eye cosmetics manufactured in the last two years because contamination in the mascara, eye liner and eye shadow may cause permanent injury or blindness, the government said Thursday.

The Food and Drug Administration said it had found harmful bacteria and mold in samples of mascara, liquid eye liner and eye shadow produced by the Perth Amboy, N.J., company.

The recalled cosmetics were sold under the brand names Ana Orsini, Annabelle, Eve’s, Lauren’s and On Stage Cosmetics in bulk and consumer-size units, the agency said.

The products also may have been sold under various distributors’ labels, and an official said the FDA would release the other brand names as they become known. Tori does not use lot numbers.
