snoop1130 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 The Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) busted three storage centers located in Bangkok and Samut Prakan and confiscated 14 million baht worth of fake toothpaste, cosmetics, and brand-name bags last week. The operation came after a famous Thai toothpaste manufacturing company filed a complaint with FDA that their products have been counterfeited and are being sold widely in markets and online, Pol. Maj. Gen. Anan Nanasombat, commander of the Consumer Protection Police Division (CCPD), told a press conference on Monday, February 13th. The FDA and CIB then swooped in first at two houses in the Nong Bon sub-district and another on Soi On Nut 70/1. Both premises are in Bangkok’s Prawet district, according to Maj. Gen. Anan.

Popular Post Mickeymaus Posted February 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2023 I heard a lot about fake products. But toothpaste is new to me. Hope all these people risking the health of others get punished accordingly. It is not the same as selling fake watches for instance. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Stargeezr Posted February 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2023 A fake Rolax watch can turn your wrist green, fake toothpaste can affect your health. I am glad this bunch was located and seized. I hope it is jail time for the Chinese guy, then deportation and at least 10 year ban after that. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swm59nj Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 This must be a devastating blow to a lot of expats and tourists. They are probably wondering how they can afford to brush their teeth now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superal Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 There are many fake / copied products for sale in Thailand , from many outlets including Lazada who do not seem to vet their vendors . The Darlie tooth paste is being sold on Lazada by 58 vendors with quite a varience in price . It would not surprise me if the fake Darlie tooth paste has been sold in shops for a long time , along with other fakes e.g. Olive oil , honey etc . Its about time that manufacturers came up with a code for tracibility for their products which would give customer confidence . Or is it beyond the wit of man ?
