webfact Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 A fact-finding committee, chaired by Thailand’s Commerce Minister Jurin Laksanawisit, will meet at Government House this afternoon (Wednesday) to begin an investigation into claims, made in a recent CNN report, that tens of millions of used medical gloves have been exported to the United States from Thailand. President of the Thai Rubber Glove Manufacturers Association (TRGMA) Veerasith Sincharoenkul said that the actions reported by CNN have tarnished the reputation of Thai rubber glove producers in the US and the European Union, which are major export markets. Veerasith urged the government to nail the real culprits and to keep a closer watch on new manufacturers established during COVID-19 pandemic, instead of tightening controls over the entire industry, particularly long-established manufacturers.

Can't sue them. The problem is that if you take them to court as a lot of Thais would it just explodes the story more in the media. Remember CNN is seen world wide not like Joe Blows comment in FB or online. The other reason is that his organization represents the Thais that are producing the good quality materials again the last ting he wants is to support people that could cause the U.S. and EU to ban or black list Thai products. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the tens of millions of evidence that prove otherwise? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
