Beauty products from leading South Korean brands including Skinfood, 3CE
and Etude House have been found to contain amounts of heavy metal exceeding the
legal limit.
韩国知名品牌思亲肤、3CE和伊蒂之屋等韩国主要化妆品品牌近日被查出重金属含量超标。
Eyebrow pencils and liquid concealer, among others, from eight producers
were found to contain excessive antimony – also known as kohl, a type of
lustrous gray metalloid whose dust particles are suspected to cause cancer and
liver and kidney damage if inhaled or absorbed, according to a recent test by
South Korea’s food and medicine safety authority.
根据韩国食品药品安全检测机构近期的一次检测，八家制造商的眉笔和遮瑕膏等产品均含有过量的重金属锑，锑粉也被叫做化妆墨、眼影粉，是一种亮灰色的金属，其粉粒如果被人吸入或是吸收疑似可以致癌，造成肝肾损伤。
Excessive and prolonged use of antimony may also cause skin irritation and
dermatitis. But this metal is still widely found in cosmetics and dyeing
products.
此外，过量并长期使用锑还可能引起皮肤刺激和皮炎。但此种金属依然被广泛应用于化妆品和染色产品中。
The South Korean watchdog noted 10.1 to 14.3 micrograms of antimony in a
number of 1 gram samples it tested, prompting a mandated recall.
韩国监管机构在检测到1克样本中含有10.1到14.3微克的锑后要求产品召回。
Brands 3CE and Etude House all responded and have taken the relevant
products off their shelves and will arrange refunds for customers who have
already bought the products.
品牌3CE和伊蒂之屋都做出了回应，将相关产品下架，并将为已经购买产品的客户安排退款。
On Wednesday, Hong Kong Customs inspected 49 points of sale citywide and
found none of the products were on sale.
周三，香港海关在全市范围内检查了49个销售点，发现所有的产品都没有出售。
South Korean cosmetics now command an increasing market share across Asia,
particularly in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
如今，韩国化妆品在亚洲市场的份额越来越大，尤其是在中国、香港和台湾。
A spokesman for the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy in Seoul noted
that the tests reflected how serious they took the supervision of production and
sales and that consumers’ confidence in South Korean products would remain
unaffected.
韩国贸易、工业和能源部(Ministry of Trade, Industry and
Energy)的一位发言人指出，这些测试反映出他们对生产和销售的监督是多么认真，消费者对韩国产品的信心不会受到影响。 |
