If you love Amika and its haircare products, you might want to check your cupboard after their latest announcement. On January 6, 2025, Amika issued a statement on their official website recalling one of their products that has been in the market since 2023 and 2024.
The product in question is the Mirrorball high shine + protect antioxidant shampoo. Other products in the Mirrorball line are not being recalled.

"We have been monitoring recent feedback citing change in odor & in rare cases, temporary irritation. There have been no reported serious adverse health events associated with using this product.

Gergoviae."
