From Reuters China:
U.S. consumer products giant Procter & Gamble Co. has suspended sales of its SK-II skincare line in mainland China, pending clarification from the quality watchdog over traces of possibly harmful metals.
The decision to halt sales of SK-II – a line of beauty products made by P&G in Japan – came as China’s quality watchdog also urged officials to step up inspection of substandard food imported from Japan.
P&G this week began to offer refunds to buyers after China’s General Administration of Quality Supervision , Inspection and Quarantine said it had found traces of the metals in the products.[Full Text]
