DSI crackdown on counterfeit dietary supplement warehouse in Chon Buri costing over 10 million baht

Featured Replies

The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) raided a warehouse in central Chon Buri storing counterfeit dietary supplements for humans and pets, causing damages exceeding 10 million baht.

 

The raid was carried out in response to Thailand being closely watched by the US Trade Representative (USTR) for intellectual property rights violations and stemmed from tips about unlawful sales of supplements via popular online platforms.

 

These supplements, once consumed, can lead to dangerous side effects, making this a significant health concern.


Following the lead, DSI discovered a group discreetly selling counterfeit goods under the guise of genuine factory-priced products. The products were stored and sold in Chon Buri.

I get how humans can overeat/become obese, but pets?? And pets needing weight loss pills? 555, absurd.

What damage did the raiders cause that is valued at 10 million ThB. The building was demolished?

It's not very well written or named article, which came from original in Thaiger. In link, towards the end it states that the damage to genuine brand distributors from these peddlers was 10 million Baht... so it's not like the raid caused the damage, but the sale of fake products to distributors.
