Celebrity favourite EOS lip balm is being sued for allegedly causing “severe rashes, bleeding, blistering, cracking and loss of pigmentation.” According to TMZ a woman named Rachel Cronin is filing the lawsuit against the EOS manufacturer. The egg-shaped pods of lip balm are a favourite amongst celebrities including brand ambassadors Kim Kardashian, Britney Spears and Hilary Duff.
