The Thailand Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning about an herbal inhaler labeled Chang Thai, which uses an unauthorized registration number. The FDA discovered that no official record exists for this product under the number G508/68, after a consumer complaint spurred the investigation. This has raised safety and legality concerns, prompting public caution.

The inhaler was advertised on Facebook as a remedy for dizziness and fatigue. However, the FDA found that the registration number belongs to another product, and the ad lacked a proper herbal product advertising license. Such discrepancies highlight the potential risks associated with using the product without proper verification.

FDA officials are taking legal action against those responsible for the unauthorized sales and promotion of the inhaler. They emphasize the importance of verifying the safety and legality of health products before purchase. Consumers are advised to contact the FDA with any product safety concerns.

Looking forward, the FDA is likely to increase scrutiny on herbal products to protect consumers from potential health risks. The agency's previous action against Hong Thai Formula 2 for microbial contamination indicates a pattern of vigilant enforcement. Users are urged to stay informed about product safety standards, reported The Thaiger.

Key Takeaways

• The Chang Thai herbal inhaler is not officially registered, raising safety concerns.

• Legal action is underway against its unauthorized sale and advertisement.

• Consumers should verify health product legitimacy with the FDA.
