A LARGE shipment of highly toxic skin lightening products linked to cancer has been seized at Gatwick Airport.
The consignment of almost 1,000 jars of cosmetics, containing banned substance hydroquinone, were prevented from importation by West Sussex County Council's Trading Standards Service, working in partnership with UK Border Force at Gatwick.
The products, with a retail value of more than £14,000, had been flown in from Africa for distribution in the UK.
