SK-II recall (2)
TheStar reports it too in today’s news. P&G Japan disputes these claims.
Remember the case of Bausch & Lomb ReNu multi-purpose solution withdrawal from the shelves?
Feb 2006 : our local daily reported that the solution was linked to the sharp increase of eyes infection cases. Cases were reported in Hong Kong and Singapore.
2 days later : B & L announced that their solution are here to stay.
One month later : Health Ministry ordered ReNu be withdrawn.
The case of SK-II, another "overlook" by the Health Ministry?
"We will also check on the authentication of the products and whether they are registered with the ministry," said Health Ministry Paliamentary Secretary.
He further said, "All cosmetic products need to be registered before they are marketed and we have the ‘stop, test and release’ mechanism to make sure the imported products are safe before they are made available on shelves.”
Err.. how come he is making such statement? He is doubting big brands like SK-II is not registered? Scratching my head in disbelief…
