Context

GovInfoNow's records show Estee Lauder Inc has two other recalls on record since October 23, 2012. On June 6, 2014, the company recalled DENBLAN Toothpaste due to stability data issues that did not support expiry dates. On October 23, 2012, Estee Lauder recalled DayWear Moisturizer because failed stability specifications meant the active sunscreen ingredient may not have been stable over its shelf life.
