Here’s the latest I can gather from recent news.
- A nationwide recall of Creative Cake Decorating metallic powders in Australia was reported around May 17, 2026, after a toddler inhaled a powder and was hospitalised. The products in question included Rose Gold, Fiery Copper, Dior Gold, Platinum Silver, and Champagne Gold, sold nationwide and online from 2019 to 2026. Authorities warned the powders may contain copper and zinc dust and advised immediate cessation of use and return for refunds. This recall followed public safety notices and related media coverage in mid-May 2026.[1][2][3]
If you want, I can pull more precise regulatory details (e.g., ACCC recall notices) or search for additional country-specific updates or consumer warnings related to “creative metallic cake dust” recalls.
