  1.  @yerri5567  "they follow the standards and use ingredients set out by their parent company, which isnt Chinese." Doesn't China and HK have their own standards for what may be imported and sold in their respective markets? Why are those standards not enforced?

  2.  @yerri5567  Are you saying that HK does have those standards? Then why aren't they enforced? And if HK doesn't have those standards, isn't it the responsibility of the HK government to change that?

  3. BlackRock? BlackRock is an investment firm, owning shares in almost all listed companies, so obviously they will be co-owners of almost any product on the market, not just hair care products. However, specifically, you may be thinking about Johnson & Johnson and Procter & Gamble, two large consumer products and healthcare products companies. BlackRock owns about 6% of Procter & Gamble, and 6% of Johnson & Johnson.

  4.  @yerri5567  "you should not be asking some random person online." I'm asking you because you made the original implication that these products do not comply with HK standards. I also answered your question further up: If HK indeed has standards that ban these chemicals, then it is the responsibility of the HK government to enforce those standards.

  5.  @yerri5567  Ok, it looks like I have not expressed myself clearly. My point is this: It is not useful to blame or criticize the manufacturer or the country of origin, as long as the products imported comply with local regulations. If they DO comply with current local regulations, then the regulations may need to be updated. If they DON'T comply, then the local authorities need to do a better job at testing and rejecting the imported products. Perhaps they can also fine/sanction the manufacturers who sent them over. It doesn't really matter where this is, HK, China, Europe, anywhere else. It is the responsibility of local authorities to protect the consumers in their own jurisdiction.

  6. These chemicals may be banned in the EU, but are they banned in HK? In China? The video didn't say anything about that.
