  "account": "The Malaysian Health Ministry (KKM) has withdrawn notification for the cosmetic product GB Daily Glow Skin Cream after it was found to contain mercury, which is banned in cosmetics due to its potential to cause harm to the skin, nervous system and brain development, especially in children. The KKM warned consumers to stop using the product and seek medical advice if they experience any adverse effects. They also urged manufacturers and distributors involved in the sale and distribution of the product to cease immediately, as it violates the 1984 Drug and Cosmetic Control Regulations. Violations can result in fines of up to RM25,000 for first-time offenders, and up to RM50,000 for subsequent violations, with imprisonment not exceeding three years for individuals and five years for companies.",
