Officials seize Bt80m of fake Botox, stem cells and fillers in Bangkok

 

 

More than 400,000 items of fake Botox, stem cells and breast enhancement injectables, worth an estimated 80 million baht, were seized by Department of Special Investigation police and officials from the Food and Drug Administration and the Department of Intellectual Property from 12 locations in Bangkok on Wednesday.

 

DSI chief Pol Col Paisit Wongmuang said today that the successful raids were the a result of a two-year investigation, which dates back to the seizure of fake cosmetic medicines and beauty enhancement products in 2017, and the money trails of the beauty enhancement network suspected of involvement in the import of the fake products.

 

In a coordinated operation, the officials raided 12 storage locations, a clinic and a company in Suan Luang, Hua Mark, Happy Land, Bang Kapi, Wang Thong Lang, Lat Phrao, Ratchadapisek, Sukhumvit, Suriwong and Din Daeng.

What should this new hub of Thai cosmetic medical sophistication and ethics be referred to?  4.0 continuation, or post election 4.1?

I say that people who import, distribute and knowingly buy and administer fake medicine to unsuspecting patients who think they get the real thing, should have all their worldly possessions taken away from them and a stiff and lengthy jail time for wilfully, consciously endangering people's lives... and maybe then the message will be delivered and understood...

Botox is a brand name and should not be used in the head line, they should be called injectables, The heading could damage the Botox product
