The New South Wales Government has issued a public-health warning after three children became ill from eyeliner sold in stores in the Indian and Pakistani communities. The eyeliner has been found to contain high levels of lead and other dangerous metals.


Health authorities have warned people to stop using Hashmi Surmi Special and Hashmi Khol Aswad eyeliners after three children from the same family in Sydney became sick.

New South Wales authorities say the eyeliners, manufactured in Pakistan, have been found to contain dangerous levels of lead.

The state's Better Regulation Minister, Matt Kean, says doctors have tested the children and found elevated levels of lead in their blood.
