PHNOM PENH (The Phnom Penh Post/Asia News Network): The Consumer Protection, Competition and Fraud Repression directorate-general (CCF) has lifted all restrictions on the imports and distribution of more than 10 types of infant and baby powder products after reports from an Australian testing laboratory determined that the products did not contain asbestos.

Back on Aug 23, CCF alerted the public that it was temporarily suspending the imports and distribution of a dozen baby powder products nationwide after an initial local laboratory test indicated the possible presence of asbestos.
