Over 150 boxes of Lyn slimming food supplement product seized, but no charges filed

By Thai PBS

 

 

Police and consumer protection officials sized more than 150 boxes of Lyn slimming food supplement products at a house in Bang Phli district of Samut Prakan on Sunday evening.

 

The raid was headed by Pol Gen Veerachai Songmetta, the national deputy police chief, and Mr Rangsan Wongboonnak, a chief official of Samut Prakan’s office of consumer protection, following a tipoff that a house in Tambon Bang Phli Yai is a distribution centre of Lyn weight loss products.

 

The houseowner who was not identified claimed that he used to be fat, but after he took Lyn food supplement he has lost a lot of weight and people who knew him asked what he had done with his weight problem.

Is this the "before" photo?

Yea looks like all the cops have a bit belly fat not as much as the average farang but noticeable. So its probably the before pic.

 

Poor guy, he lost a lot of weight on the product and decided to resell it and make some money off his weight loss success (nothing wrong with it). However the FDA says its dangerous (and it is if it has sibutramine) its also what made it effective.

 

Now he is losing money, he should try to recoup it from the distributor who made the dangerous stuff.

Not sure, I mean he could be just an innocent party here. The producer / seller is the guilty party here. They should have gotten FDA aprovement and this guy who saw himself slim down and stars endorcing the product thought it was legit. People see him smaller ask how hit happend and he starts to sell the stuff.. Innocent IMHO.

The wife got caught up in this <deleted>.  She was making fantastic amounts of money for a couple of months, (150,000+) but you paid for product in advance of shipping and often waited 3 weeks to receive it. I knew it was bogus because the product was shipped separate from the packaging, but the packaging had lot #s and expiry dates while all the product came from same box.

 

She lost about 400,000.  we burnt it all.   I saw a NZ customs analysis of the product and it contains sibutramine.  The "company" won t do <deleted> as far as taking responsibility for what they sold. I'm sorry she wasted the past 8 months, but glad to have the garbage out of our life.
