More celebrities turn themselves in to police over Magic Skin product reviews

By Thai PBS

 

 

Two more celebrities turned themselves in to the police to give testimonies over their roles in product reviews  for Magic Skin cosmetics and food supplements.

 

The two actors,  Phutthichai Kasetsin or DJ Put, and Kan Kantathavorn told  deputy national police chief Pol Gen Weerachai Songmetta and police investigators that they were contacted to review the products and personally, they believed the products were reliable because they saw Food and Drug Administration registration numbers on the labels.

 

Both claimed that  many celebrities had also reviewed the products and the  advertisements of the products  were widely seen on the internet and billboards.

The question is, are these Food and Drug registration numbers genuine? If they are genuine have they been issued correctly or purchased from the Department under the counter as many things are in the Thai civil service. Like organic food certification.

No different to those chemical companies which produce poisonous herbicides and pesticides. They are allowed to have doctors provide testimonials and promos of their products. But I supposed that's because they are wealthy and "well connected".

Even in the US, an FDA approval can be purchased for $2 million. Just a series of tests, and the approval process. There are thousands of products in the US that are toxic, dangerous, and unhealthy to eat, or to use. Just because they have passed the tests of a highly compromised agency, does not mean much. Perhaps even more so here. To go after the celebrities who promoted the products seems ludicrous.

 

Why not go after the officers or owners of the companies? Oh, perhaps they are too wealthy, too connected, or too influential? Above the law, one might say. Any and all laws.
