Chinese health authorities have recalled 1,200 bottles of skin cream that are believed to cause growth defects in babies.

The antibacterial skin cream products for infants developed by a company in China’s Fujian Province were suspected of containing hormones that cause swelling, weight gain, stunted growth, and excessive body hair.
