This comes from someone Who works in the breast cancer unit at Mt. Sinai Hospital , in Toronto ..
From: Dr. Nahid Neman
Recently a lipstick brand called 'Red Earth' Decreased their prices from $67 to $9.90. It contained lead. Lead is a chemical which causes cancer.
The lipstick brands that contain lead are: CHRISTIAN DIOR LANCÔME CLINIQUE Y.S.L (Yves Saint Laurent) ESTEE LAUDER SHISEIDO RED EARTH (Lip Gloss) CHANEL (Lip Conditioner) MARKET AMERICA-MOTNES LIPSTICK.
The higher the lead content, The greater the chance of causing cancer. After doing a test on lipsticks, It was found that the Y.S.L. Lipstick contained the most amount of lead. Watch out for those lipsticks which are supposed to stay longer. If your lipstick stays longer, it is because of the higher content of lead. Here is the test you can do yourself:
1. Put some lipstick on your hand. 2. Use a Gold ring to scratch on the lipstick. 3. If the lipstick colour changes to black, 4. Then you know the lipstick contains lead.
This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Centre. Dioxin Carcinogens cause cancer, especially breast cancer.

Thanks my beautiful almost perfect daughter for confirming my first thought on a recall right away would cost too mcuh $$$$$ as it seems reputations are at stake here...and, as a rule many, many people have to die before things like this comes out in order to protect the 'brand'...from toys to car makers in America...
