27 COSMETIC PRODUCTS RECALLED
petikan dari Bernama - Friday, November 27
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 26 (Bernama) -- The Health Ministry has recalled 27 local cosmetic products from the market for notifications that did not comply with the definition of cosmetics.
Among the products recalled 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 Al-Jabbar Manufacturing Sdn Bhd and the Alkaline Therapy Pearl Extract by Permata Hijrah Resources.
In a statement today, the ministry said the products were taken back as they were notified as cosmetic products but were misused as its directions required the preparation to be used as eye drops.
"Products used as eye or nose drops do not fall under the definition of cosmetics and should be controlled as pharmaceutical products.
"Products that are classified as cosmetics cannot be used for treatment purposes, as it is a substance or preparation intended to be placed in contact with various external parts of the human body (epidermis, hair system, nails, lips) or with teeth and the mucous membranes of the oral cavity, with a view exclusively or mainly to cleaning them, perfuming them, changing their appearance and/or correcting body odours and/or protecting them or keeping them in good condition," it said.
