VANCOUVER -- Health Canada has issued a recall of a brow gel over mold contamination concerns.

Anyone who has the product is advised to stop using it and throw it out right away. The serial number printed on the product is the lot number 999210861.
"Individuals with weakened immune systems, who suffer from a pre-existing health condition, or who belong to another sensitive group may be at risk of allergic reactions and related symptoms if exposed," said a statement on the health agency's website.
