Amazon Pulls Many Skin-Lightening Products Containing Mercury

reported Amazon “pulled more than a dozen skin-lightening products with dangerous levels of mercury off its website after Minnesota public-health and environmental activists raised concerns.” The company made the change “after two groups, the BeautyWell Project and the state branch of the Sierra Club, delivered a petition on Wednesday with over 23,000 signatures to Amazon’s fulfillment center in Shakopee, Minnesota.” https://apnews.com/6da0dc3389334ef38177567e12b3170a
