Madhya Pradesh Bans Pakistan-Made Skin Whitening Creams Over Kidney Damage Risk; 300 Packets Seized

The Madhya Pradesh Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has banned the sale, purchase, and use of two Pakistan-made fairness creams, Gori Beauty and Chandni Whitening Cream, due to serious health concerns, including the risk of kidney damage. The department seized over 300 packets of Gori Beauty Cream from two locations in Indore after investigations revealed that the products contained excessive levels of heavy metals above permissible limits.

The Creams Contain Harmful Heavy Metals The FDA issued an order on Saturday, Nov 14, after receiving warnings from the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) and the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) about the issue on Sep 8. Officials advised consumers not to purchase or use these creams and to report any sales by emailing cfdamp@rediffmail.com or contacting their district drug inspector.
