Police interview first batch of Magic Skin endorsers who then face media

Four Thai actresses on Friday testified “as witnesses” to police about their role in “product review” advertisements for the Magic Skin cosmetic and food-supplement brand at the centre of allegations, according to national police deputy chief Pol General Weerachai Songmetta.

 

Pitchanart “May” Sakhakorn, Napapa “Patt” Tantrakul, Orapan “Aoffy Maxim” Dansiriwattanakun, and Nonthaporn “Ying Yae” Theerawattanasook – testified ahead of schedule at the police head office in Bankok.

 

They were among the nine celebrities summoned to testify to police during May 4-7.

 

To express their sincerity, they also consented to being shown to a media scrum, said Weerachai.

 

Pitchanart said she felt uneasy about what happened and was willing to co-operate with the police investigation, as she believed that the justice system would give her justice.

 

 

She said that before reviewing a product, her manager would check the product’s label for a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) hallmark.

 

Pitchanart insisted that she personally tested Magic Skin’s skin-whitening supplement Fern Vitamin before giving her endorsement Pitchanart said that she had no ill intention and considered herself a victim in this case.

 

“I was astonished to hear the news and I realised I had made a mistake in reviewing a product with no FDA approval,” she added.

 

Nonthaporn admitted to a friendship with Kasit Worachington, one of the eight suspects apprehended in the case, and said she had tested the product before giving her review.

 

Napapa echoed that she also had tested the product before giving her review and had even asked for additional information from the manufacturer, who then confirmed the product’s legality.

 

Magic Skin products were tested and found to be substandard and lacked advertised ingredientsAuthorities claim they were made without proper licences and produced at unregistered factories.

 

Public complaints led authorities to search several factories linked to the firm, while police have apprehended eight people – for whom arrested warrants were issued – including business owner Wannapa Poungson, along with her husband and accountant Korn Poungson.

 

 

Police are conducting interviews with product spokespeople to gather evidences before deciding who to target with further charges and what those charges should be, Weerachai said.

 

Those whose actions were deemed violations of the law would then be summoned to hear charges, or a court would be asked to issue arrest warrants.

 

Police previously announced that 59 Thai celebrities (including the nine who were told to testify to police on May 4-7) have some kind of involvement with the firm. Weerachai said all 59 celebrities should give testimonies within 45 days.

It's not about looking attractive it's about looking rich.

No offence, but often most Thais, Chinese (Asians in general) or Africains,  all look the same. Just as we perhaps must all also be looking identical to them.

Two slim food supplement products found to be tainted with dangerous substances

in Editor's Choice, General | April 27, 2018 | (25 views) | By Thai PBS

The Food and Drug Administration has warned consumers to exercise extreme caution in the use of two slim food supplement products after it was discovered that the two products contain ingredients that can pose health danger to consumers.

 

The two products in question are Lyn FS3 which was found to contain bisacodyl, a stimulant laxative which increases movement of intestine, and Lyn Block Burn Break Build which contains sibutramine.

 

Both products are produced by Food Science Supply Service Co in Pathum Thani province.

Earlier, the FDA declared Magic Skin cosmetics and food supplements illegal and it has threatened to take legal action against celebrities and net idols who served as its product presenters.

Well, it worked for a watchman..

[nahkit]

So if I ever have an affair and the wife finds out I'll just try the "oh but you all look alike" defence. Honest dear, I thought it was you.

Wrong. Infinite variety.

I have yet to meet any lookalikes, except for twins, and I am usually able to discern differences even then...

[jerojero]

Scam and they were well aware of it. Now playing dumb and victim. Sheesh!

[jerojero]

Why do they believe looking white and pasty faced like a ghost is attractive??????

Same reasons thousands of tanning salons and beaches in the West brown-up pasty skinned Caucasians. People want what others have, including 'foreign,' looks.

[jerojero]

Yes, they look plastic, I got no feelings at all for this type of girls.

And they definitely would have feelings for a guy who had little money. No question!

[NutsMango]

What is this stupidity?

 

People (even hired for marketing purposes) are not those who should investigate whether a product is correctly licensed and up to the standard.

 

100% responsibility should be on the company who sell it, and 100% responsibility to enforce/investigate is on the government office

 

A company hires your to do marketing and you should go through chemistry crash course and setup lab in your condo to make sure the product is okay???

[ratcatcher]

Napapa “Patt” Tantrakul never misses an opportunity to get together with the police when it comes to dangerous substances. She made our acquaintance not long ago with her husband "Benz Racing" who was involved in another substance business.

They enjoy the spotlight and adulation.................and the money that follows..
