Why lie?

I am an Australian hairdresser this product has just been recalled in Australia, in all the training sessions with Dateline Imports we were all assured that Keratin Complex was formaldehyde free, I felt safe and assured that it was a safe and effective product to use we were lied to.

Why were we still able to purchase this product after 12/08/10 which was the date it was recalled in Ireland? Why did it take suppliers in Australia till the 28/10/10 to recall the product and why were they allowed to falsly advertise this product as formaldehyde free.

Yes as we now know it contains high levels of free formaldehyde- not formaldehyde free.
