PEKANBARU, Riau: Officials from the Pekanbaru Food and Drug
Monitoring Agency have confiscated from stores here thousands of
cosmetic products manufactured in China and Taiwan.

"We seized the products because they were illegal. The
products were never registered with the health ministry and we
even found some samples containing mercury, which is dangerous
for humans," said Maringan Silitonga, the head of the agency, on
Wednesday. -- JP
