          SYDNEY, Oct. 29 (Xinhua) -- More than 1,000 bottles of fake blood have been seized in Australia's Victoria state capital Melbourne as part of a major crackdown on Halloween cosmetic products that did not meet safety and industry standards, authorities said Monday.

          Inspectors from Consumer Affairs Victoria confiscated the "potentially harmful" blood and other items including makeup kits and face paint during six visits to wholesale and retail premises across the city's southeast suburbs, the government's consumer affairs regulator said in a statement.

          The Halloween items were seized because their ingredients were not listed in line with the Australian cosmetics labelling standard, it said.

          The annual celebration, which falls on Oct. 31, sees many revelers putting on "scary" costumes and makeup.

          "These product seizures will help ensure that Halloween remains fun for all Victorians," said the agency's director Simon Cohen.

          "Ingredient labelling helps parents spot any ingredients that their children may be allergic to, or to more easily identify the cause if a reaction occurs."

          The fake blood and other items are being subject to a product recall and investigations are ongoing, according to the agency.

          Under Australian consumer laws, a supplier who fails to comply with a mandatory safety standard can face fines of up to 220,000 Australian dollars (156,120 U.S. dollars) for individuals and 1.1 million Australian dollars (780,600 U.S. dollars) for a business.
