  I watch TV, some channel. Says the SK2 product is bad for health. Product is withdrawn, people can return and refund.
  
  Is this true?
  
  Anyone have further info?

  Hmmm.....seems weird.....if Im not mistaken, all products are made in Japan...so there should be no difference between SK2 sold in China and SK2 sold in Singapore.
  
  But if the elements are only at trace levels and not really hazardous.....why is P&G offering refund in China and halt its sales? Can't be so drastic....

  Then there is obviously a missing link. Missing link usually = something wrong.

  Sk2 is not good for our skin of course. some bad effect might have happened and trigger a stop for selling such items by SK2

  Chromium metal and chromium(III) compounds are not usually considered health hazards, but hexavalent chromium (chromium VI) compounds can be toxic if orally ingested or inhaled. The lethal dose of poisonous chromium (VI) compounds is about one half teaspoon of material. Most chromium (VI) compounds are irritating to eyes, skin and mucous membranes. Chronic exposure to chromium (VI) compounds can cause permanent eye injury, unless properly treated. Chromium(VI) is an established human carcinogen. Exposure to the poisonous chemical hexavalent chromium in drinking water formed the plot of the motion picture Erin Brockovich.
  
  __________________________
  
  Hexavalent chromium compounds are carcinogens. Chronic inhalation of such compounds increases risk of lung cancer. Zinc chromate is the strongest carcinogen of the chromates used in industry. Soluble compounds, like chromic acid, are much weaker carcinogens.
