r Thomas R. Frieden, was quoted as saying.

"These metals are poisons and can cause damage to the brain, nervous system, and kidneys. Children and pregnant women (and their foetuses) are especially at risk. If you or your children have used these products, immediately call a physician to request a blood lead test and urine mercury test," he said.

The DOHMH has embargoed these products and has ordered store owners where these products are sold to immediately stop selling them.

The sellers have also been ordered to package and return these products to the distributors. They have also been asked to provide the DOHMH information on the distributors who sold the products to the stores.

"Failure to provide the required information will result in the immediate seizure of the embargoed products," it said.

The department has also ordered the stores to post a sign in the stores to advise customers to discontinue use of these products and to see a physician if they have used them.

The department has advised people who may have obtained these products to immediately stop using these products, call a physician to request a blood lead test and mercury urine test and keep products away from children.
