Here's the list of 13 Whitening Products found positive with Mercury content. According to the report, at least 13 "new" skin-whitening products being sold in Manila and Makati Cities have tested positive for mercury, a substance that can pose a danger to health, an ecological group said Tuesday.

EcoWaste Coalition alerted the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on the products, whose mercury content it said can damage the kidneys and the nervous system, and interfere with brain development in fetuses and young children.
