BANGKOK — Authorities seized millions of baht in diet pills from factories after their ingestion allegedly caused a string of recent deaths, leading a TV personality on Tuesday to sue the brand for false advertising.

 

TV personality Kriangkraimat “Kendo” Photchanasunthon filed a complaint Tuesday at the Technology Crime Suppression Division against Manita Rattanakasemchai, one of the brand operators of the reportedly lethal Lyn diet pill, who allegedly recorded and edited one of his phone conversations to sound like an advertisement. Officials seized 62,000 pill boxes in a Monday raid at the Food Science Supply Service company in Pathum Thani, after at least four people were said to have died from ingesting them.

Because its easy to pop a pil.

Did he still get paid? for his video chat.

When cutting corners in life doesn't go as planned, huh?

I suppose a 100% success rate in weight loss if it kills you.

Producers of the fatal pill could face charges of murder with intent, which carries a jail term of at least 10 years.

Swingeing sentences on those responsible for this tragedy will not bring back the four dead victims. Time to put the FDA and its failure to protect the public from snake oil salesman and worse under the microscope.

I think this company should sue for defamation.
