A 47-year-old California woman has been in a semi-comatose state for weeks after using a Ponds-labeled skin cream tainted with methylmercury.
She was able to respond to verbal commands at first, but she is now in a semi-comatose state, KCRA reported. Ponds said in a statement to NBC News,"We do not use mercury in our products. We take this matter very seriously and work closely with all authorized retailers to be sure products remain intact and safe for use from shipment to shelf."
