From Stylelist:

Avon is being sued by Milka Betances, a 30-year-old Bronx resident who claims she was burned and scarred by Avon's Anew Clinical Professional Stretch Mark Smoother.

The
product, which contains Butea, a plant extract to lighten stretch
marks, as well as ingredients to boost elastin and collagen, won the
prestigious Cosmetic Executive Women's Insider Choice Award and has
numerous positive reviews on various websites.

However, Betances
claimed she was burned by the cream, which she purchased from an Avon
dealer on the Grand Concourse in the Bronx.

Could this have been a case of diversion?

Companies like L'Oreal
have recently spoken out against products being distributed by
unlicensed people or companies. Buying products from anywhere other
than company-authorized retailers puts the consumer at risk of buying
an outdated, unauthentic, or tainted product.
