  "account": "The Ministry of Health (MOH) in Malaysia has recalled the cosmetic product GB Daily Glow Skin Cream due to the presence of mercury, a banned substance. Mercury is hazardous as it can be absorbed by the body, potentially causing harm to the kidneys and nervous system, and also affecting the brain development of children and fetuses. The MOH has urged the public to stop using the product and seek medical advice if they experience any discomfort or adverse effects. They are also advised to check the notification status of cosmetic products on the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA) website. The sellers and distributors of the product must cease its sale and distribution immediately, as they are in violation of the Control of Drugs and Cosmetics Regulations 1984. Offenses under these regulations can result in fines of up to RM25,000 for the first offense, and up to RM50,000 for subsequent offenses.",
