In 2005, Band-Aid launched “perfect blend” bandages that were designed to work with a wide array of skin tones, although they were eventually discontinued, a spokesperson told NBC.
“We are excited to bring back a similar product with improved comfort and flexibility,” the spokesperson said in a statement. “The new Band-Aids will launch in 2021 in the company’s “most popular style, flexible fabric.”
