A woman from north London has received a 16,000 fine for selling toxic skin-lightening products banned in the UK, endangering public health.
The illegal products included harmful chemicals like hydroquinone, known to cause severe health issues such as skin cancer and permanent skin damage.
Barnet Council described hydroquinone as the biological equivalent of paint stripper, highlighting its potential to seriously damage the skin and overall health.
Cllr Barry Rawlings emphasized the dangers of illegal skin-lightening products, asserting the council's determination to protect residents from such threats.
