KKM batal notifikasi produk krim ada racun berjadual
Kementerian Kesihatan berkata produk kosmetik Remy Laure Soothing Cream yang dikesan mengandungi hidrokuinon.
The Malaysian Ministry of Health has announced that the sale and distribution of Remy Laure Soothing Cream is being halted due to it containing a dangerous ingredient. The Cream, which is classified as a drug, must be registered with the Department of Drugs Control (DPD) before it can be marketed. Hydroquinone, the problematic component, can cause unwanted side effects such as skin discoloration and heightened skin sensitivity.
The KKM clarified that selling and distributing this product violates the Drugs and Cosmetics Control Regulations 1984. Violators can be fined up to RM25,000 for the first offense, or imprisoned for up to three years, or both for the first offense, and up to RM50,000 or imprisonment for up to five years, or both for subsequent offenses.
For individuals using the Cream, the Ministry advises them to immediately discontinue its use and seek advice from a health professional if they experience any adverse effects. The public is encouraged to check the status of any cosmetic using the NPRA's website.
