Three thousand pairs of false eyelashes have been seized by US Customs and Border Protection agents after officials determined they were illegally imported from China to New Orleans.
The four boxes of long lashes seized Tuesday at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport were destined for a local beauty supply store, agency spokesperson Matthew Dyman said in a statement.
They hadn’t been approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration and weren’t labelled with the distributor’s name or the manufacturer’s name, he said.
