What is the hazard with Pr. Francoise Bedon Paris Carotte Lightening Body Lotion (2606-0305)?

Pr. Francoise Bedon Paris Carotte Lightening Body Lotion (2606-0305) (Pr. Francoise Bedon Paris) was announced earlier this year, in the "Cosmetics, personal care and grooming - Skin Lightening" category. The product presents a serious chemical risk as according to the list of ingredients, it contains hydroquinone (1,4-dihydroxybenzene). Hydroquinone is a skin sensitiser and may cause allergic contact dermatitis. The products do not meet the requirements of Regulation (EC) 1223/2009 (‘The Cosmetics Regulation’). That is the hazard as reported publicly by the firm and the regulator; it does not necessarily mean every unit has failed.
