The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has updated a voluntary recall involving 72,705 cans of Schwarzkopf Professional Osis Grip Mousse after a packaging problem raised concerns that pressurized containers could leak and explode. The recall, initiated by Henkel Consumer Goods Inc. on August 11, 2026, has now been classified by the FDA as a Class II event.
The updated notice, dated September 2, provides a clearer picture of the scale and distribution of the recall. According to the FDA, the affected mousse was distributed across 14 U.S. states as well as Trinidad, W.I. The agency says the packaging deficiency could allow product to escape from the aluminum can while under pressure, creating a risk of explosion.
FDA Classifies Recall as Class II After Reports Involving Exploding Cans
The FDA’s latest classification places the recall in Class II, a category used when exposure to a recalled product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health effects. The classification was formally recorded on September 2, several weeks after the company began notifying customers and consignees by email.
According to information previously reported by The Healthy, the FDA had been aware of one customer complaint and two reports from salons as of August 11. One retail customer said an exploding can struck with enough force to cause bruising to the hand.
The recall remains ongoing. FDA records identify the recalling company as Henkel Consumer Goods Inc., based in Culver City, California, and describe the action as voluntary and initiated by the firm rather than mandated by federal regulators.
The affected product is Schwarzkopf Professional Osis Grip Mousse sold in a 6.76-fluid-ounce, or 200-milliliter, aluminum can. The FDA lists 25 separate code numbers connected with the recall, including 2901X4577N, 291435H77O, 291515A59O, 291615B01O, 291716B69P, 291925E96O and 293066U32P.
Recall Distribution Expands as Customers Are Advised to Check Product Codes
The updated distribution list includes Texas, Washington, Alaska, California, New Jersey, Arizona, Ohio, New York, South Carolina, Missouri, West Virginia, Michigan, Florida and Pennsylvania, along with Trinidad, W.I. Earlier information had identified 12 states, while New York, West Virginia and Trinidad were added in the newer FDA listing.
According to the agency’s recall record, 72,705 units are included in the action. The stated reason is a potential packaging deficiency in which the mousse could leak from the container under pressure, producing the possibility of an explosion.
Consumers checking their products must compare the identifying code printed on the container with the codes listed in the recall notice. The recalled item is specifically identified as Schwarzkopf Professional Osis Grip Mousse in the 6.76-fluid-ounce or 200-milliliter size and packaged in an aluminum can.
The earlier FDA announcement also addressed refunds. Customers who purchased affected Schwarzkopf Professional Osis Grip mousse were encouraged to return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund. The recall record currently lists no termination date, meaning the event remains active under FDA monitoring.
