  "account": "Two teeth-whitening products, 7D White Teeth Whitening Strips and Teeth Whitening Pen, have been recalled in Spain due to hydrogen peroxide concentrations exceeding legal limits. Spain's Agency for Medicines and Health Products (AEMPS) issued the recall after laboratory testing revealed that the whitening pen batch T125186 contained hydrogen peroxide at 8.1 percent, which is 81 times higher than the permitted 0.1 percent. The 7D White Teeth Whitening Strips batch T125218 was found to contain 6-methylcoumarin at 0.05 percent, exceeding the allowed 0.003 percent. These concentrations are significantly above the European Regulation (EC) 1223/2009 limits for oral cosmetic products. AEMPS advises consumers to check the batch number before using the products, discard any affected units, and return them for a refund. Retailers are also instructed to check their shelves for the recalled items.",
