http://www.globalnews.ca/health/chinese+natural+health+product+recalled+due+to+excess+mercury+health+canada/6442474032/story.htmlOTTAWA - A natural health product is being voluntarily recalled after it was found to contain an excessive amount of mercury, Health Canada said Thursday.
Bi Yan Pian (NPN# 80023876), a Chinese medicine authorized for sale as a natural health product by Health Canada, was available for purchase at stores across Canada and via the Internet.
The sample tested contained mercury at a level of 2.43 micrograms per kilogram body weight per day, an amount nearly 10 times higher than the daily maximum limit set by Health Canada for natural health products, the agency said.
