I thought this was an Australian scandal?

The original CHOICE investigation names brands & products:

There are brands like Neutrogena that have passing & failing products, suggesting a process issue.

Not isolated case, also US brands

> An investigation by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation found that a single US-based laboratory had certified at least half of the products that had failed Choice's testing, and that this facility routinely recorded high test results.

It's a worldwide problem, first reported in Australia.
