According to the federal agency, these products may result in severe breakage, balding, rashes, itching, and hair loss. The products are the subject of ongoing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.today.com\/style\/wen-chaz-dean-sued-hair-loss-adverse-effects-t61856\" target=\"_blank\">litigation<\/a> that was commenced in 2014 through a class action lawsuit. The low-lather conditioners, which were developed by celebrity stylist Chaz Dean, have been the subject of over 127 FDA complaints from consumers.<\/p>\n<p>According to the safety alert, this issue constitutes the most reported adverse event associated with a hair product. In addition to the 127 complaints sent to the FDA, roughly 21,000 complaints were delivered to Chaz Dean, Inc., by consumers who used the product and experienced negative consequences.<\/p>\n<p>The FDA safety alert states that the reason behind the adverse side effects is unknown and that the company that\u00a0makes Wen cleansing conditioner products has been asked to provide data that could help the consumer safety agency determine the issue. There are a variety of ingredients in the products, many of which are harmless. Chamomile, aloe vera, soy protein, and almond oil are examples. A few ingredients are not as benign, like methylisothiazolinone and methlchloroisothiazolinone. Both of these preservatives have been associated with eye, skin, and lung irritations. The Environmental Working Group prepared a report about the side effects and dangers associated with these preservatives.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.molllawgroup.com\/blog\/fda-issues-safety-alert-wen-brand-hair-conditioner-product-associated-severe-hair-loss\/#more-1022\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has recently issued\u00a0a safety alert for Wen hair conditioner products.
