It was brought to my attention that you can get money back for the listed items.
China doesn't have strict laws as we do, that includes food and drugs (such as diet pills).
I guess this is a good example of why we should support local business', not to mention the impact that it would give our economy.

I have a warning you should consider. There are phthalates in products like nail polish, mascara and lotions that causes organ damage, fetal harm in pregnant women and other terrible things. There is a list of products free of this chemical at www.nottoopretty.org
Hope this is helpful
