SHANGHAI (AFP) - Hundreds of angry Chinese women have taken to the streets of Shanghai demanding refunds for US-Japanese cosmetics after authorities detected banned chemicals in some of the products.[snip]
Chinese authorities had found chromium and neodymium ions in several [Proctor & Gamble] SK-II products imported from Japan, including powder, foundation, lotion and cleansing oil.
