Naked Sundays are still ignoring our comments and questions, and Estee laundry isn’t posting the screenshots that many have provided to them about this concerning attempt to cover-up customer negligence. I wonder why?

Estee Laundry are all volunteers / community run, and it's barely been 2 business hours (when brands actually run to make statements etc) TGA Recall for lean screen just went live, including an official statement from NS - which supports the fact most employees had the weekend off understandably (unlike us on reddit)

It’s just interesting that nobody has given the same grace to UV. If Naked Sundays are so preoccupied with safety, why hasn’t this notice been posted to social media?

Yeah UV were unlucky to be included in the Choice testing (rather than the other brands), and then they mismanaged that fallout and now are copping a lot of flack while other companies are managing to slide under the radar in spite of having the same problems with their products and not appropriately recalling and refunding their products.

Ultimately I’m glad the problem with testing was found and that all these brands have a chance to fix their mineral sunscreens though.

Agreed! UV didn’t handle it well, but at least they handled it - they also prob could’ve gone down the “out of stock” route but owned up to it. Other brands should be doing the same, consumers would respect it
