Bawang International Group Holding Ltd., a Chinese herbal shampoo maker that uses movie star Jackie Chan in its advertising campaigns, tumbled 14 percent to HK$5.05. Bank of America Corp.’s Merrill Lynch & Co. said if a report by Hong Kong’s Next magazine that cancer causing element was found in Bawang’s shampoo was true, that could hurt product sales and the market will react “negatively,” according to a research report today.
