| The product that put Filipina in legal trouble |
A Filipina domestic helper ended up in Kowloon City Court
today, facing two charges following her arrest at the Argyle Street Playground
in Kowloon City while allegedly selling an unregistered beauty product
containing poison.
F. Amores, 37 years old, originally faced three
charges before Acting Principal Magistrate Ko Wai-hung, but the prosecution
withdrew the charge of unlawful sale of Part 1 poison, which was an ingredient
of the ‘’88 Total White Underarm Cream” she was allegedly selling.
The complaint filed last Sept. 4 by the Kowloon City Police
did not specify the poison in question.
