Forced to destroy all 91,036 cosmetic products of all kinds that violate legal regulations.
Cosmetics of unknown origin can contain toxic ingredients, are not tested, and have the potential to cause allergies, skin poisoning and many long-term health consequences.
Therefore, the authorities recommend that people should choose products at reputable stores, carefully check labels, sub- headlines and advertised information before using.
Business establishments also need to strictly comply with regulations on invoices, documents, and product origin. If they intentionally violate, they will be strictly handled according to the law.
Strengthening inspection, supervision and propaganda by authorities is an important factor to protect a healthy business environment and the legitimate rights of consumers.
