Community Outreach and Education about Skin Lightening Products

Community outreach and education is important to raising awareness about the dangers associated with using skin lightening products that contain mercury. These products may be manufactured in other countries and brought into the United States and sold illegally online or in stores. Links to community outreach and education efforts will be listed here and updated on a rolling basis.

  • The Danger of Mercury in Beauty Products (Video) episode hosted on 3HmongTV News. The video's language is mostly spoken in Hmong with some English.
