Consumer Alert: Cold Towels May Be Dangerous

[Jai Dee]

CONSUMERS WARNED TO EXCERCISE CAUTION WHEN BUYING COLD TOWELS

The Public Health Office in Phayao Province has warned consumers to exercise caution in buying cold towels, after finding that some brands have used a banned substance, namely methanol, in their products.

Md. CHAMNARN HARNSUTTHIWETCHAKUL (ชำนาญ หาญสุทธิเวชกุล) revealed that 3 brands of cold towels were found contaminated after the Food and Drug Administration conducted its random inspection on cold towels at different stores. The towels were found with methanol, a substance banned for use in cold towels as it causes headaches, dizziness, vomiting, dysentery, frustration, cold hands and feet, unclear vision, and even blindness.

Consumers are urged to exercise caution when buying cold towels. They should see if the towels display the place of manufacturing, and the towels must also contain the label "controlled cosmetic".

They should make a law not allowing those pesty cold towels to be displayed in full sight, and only allow sales from 1700-2400... Oh! and hike the tax on them too! Cheers!
