27 cosmetic products recalled
KUALA LUMPUR: The Health Ministry has recalled 27 local cosmetic products from the market.
Among them were the Permata Hijrah Ainun eye toner manufactured by Seri Ummi Sdn Bhd, Ainun Syifa eye toner by Yamni Industries Sdn Bhd, Ainun eye toner from AlJabbar Manufacturing Sdn Bhd and the Alkaline Therapy Pearl Extract by Permata Hijrah Resources.
In a statement, the ministry said the products were taken back as they were notified as cosmetic products but the directions required the preparation to be used as eye drops.
“Products used as eye or nose drops should be controlled as pharmaceutical products,” said the ministry.
The statement added that such products must be manufactured in GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) certified premises with specific facilities to produce sterile products – a factor not met by the recalled items.
The ministry advised the public to be careful when buying cosmetic products and to avoid being influenced by testimonials advertised by manufacturers. — Bernama
