 The map of the Middle East is being redrawn by fire and regional fallout. What began as targeted US-Israeli strikes on Iran has transformed into a sprawling regional conflagration that shows no signs of slowing down.

Zambia's Consumer Association is raising concerns about the growing presence of suspected counterfeit and substandard cosmetics and personal-care products on the local market. The products include lotions, creams and perfumes, with fears that some could cause serious skin reactions and other health problems.

ZACA is calling for stronger inspections and enforcement to protect consumers.
