First ever Nanotech product recall as over 70 made ill
A nanoparticle based cleaning spray "Magic Nano" has been with drawn from the market by its German manufacturers Kleinmann GmbH. 79 people in Germany have been taken ill after acciendentally inhailing the spray which contains manufactured nanoparticles of silica.
With serious concerns about safety, 100s of products already on the market and no adequate regulation anywhere in the world the case for a moratorium on the use of manufactured nanoparticles gets stonger and stronger.
