September 21, 2026: Health Canada Issues Recall Notice

Health Canada issued a recall notice for the 200 mL Schwarzkopf Professional Osis Grip Mousse sold in Canada, as CP24 reported [1]. The notice covers 25 batches. Daily Hive reports that 90,089 units were sold in Canada between November 2023 and June 2026 [2]. One incident was reported as of Sept. 18, and no injuries were reported.

August 11, 2026: Henkel Announces Nationwide Recall

Henkel Corporation announced a voluntary nationwide recall of Schwarzkopf Professional Osis Grip 6.76 fl. oz./200 mL cans in 25 lots. The FDA posted Henkel’s announcement on its own recall page that day [3]. The notice gives the reason as a packaging defect. Henkel says product could leak from the can under pressure, which creates a risk of explosion. The notice lists the batch codes and the states where the 21 distributors operate.

Who May Be Affected?

You may be affected if you bought a recalled Osis Grip mousse can with one of the 25 recalled batch codes. The codes are printed on the back side of the bottle. The cans went through 21 distributors. They reached Alaska, Arizona, California, Florida, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas and Washington. The cans were sold to hair professionals and consumers at the retail level. Whether you may have a legal claim depends on your own facts, so it needs an individual legal review by a lawyer.

Reported Injuries or Damages

No lawsuit alleges injury from these cans. The reports come from the company and from regulators. Reports alone do not prove the can caused every incident. The company says it learned of the problem through one customer complaint and two salon reports. The customer reported bruising on the hand. No other injuries were identified. The Health Canada notice says the leakage and resulting pressure may cause the package to burst, which could result in injury or property damage. After a problem with a cosmetic product, FDA says to contact your healthcare provider first and then report it through its complaint page [4].

Recall and Regulatory Background

U.S. buyers can return the can to the place of purchase for a full refund. Questions go to Henkel at 1-800-234-4672. A recall does not by itself establish liability or eligibility for any legal claim. The FDA 101 guide explains that a recall is an action taken by a company to correct or remove a product that violates U.S. laws [5].

Evidence to Preserve

Keep the following items, because they may help a lawyer review what happened to you:

• The can itself, kept with its batch code.
• The receipt or other proof of purchase showing where and when you bought it.
• Photographs of any leak, damage to the can or the scene where it happened.
• Medical records and bills for any injury that happened when the can leaked.
• Salon or workplace incident records if the can leaked or burst during work.
• Messages or call notes with Henkel or the store about the can.
• Your own notes on the date, the place and what you saw when the can failed.

Filing Deadlines

Filing deadlines come from state law. They vary with where you live and when an injury happened to you. Missing a deadline can end a claim. Talk to a lawyer promptly to learn which deadline applies to you and how much time may be left for your claim.
