  1. 2005

    Chinese advertising and product-safety controversy

    A Chinese consumer alleged inaccurate advertising and an allergic reaction connected with an SK-II product. P&G agreed to a 200,000 yuan fine, withdrew several products, suspended Chinese sales, closed sales counters, and arranged a refund hotline. The company later planned a return after Chinese regulators said that the trace levels under review were unlikely to harm human health.
