MP Bans Pakistani Fairness Creams After 5,000 Times Safe Mercury Limit Found

The Madhya Pradesh government has taken swift action to protect public health by banning the sale, distribution, and advertisement of Pakistani fairness creams. This ban follows a recent investigation that revealed alarmingly high levels of mercury in these products. The mercury content found in the creams was up to 5,000 times higher than the safe limit, posing a serious risk to consumers. Mercury can cause severe damage to the kidneys, nervous system, and skin.
