The FDA received a consumer complaint regarding a 2-gram herbal inhaler labelled Chang Thai (meaning Thai elephant) with the number G508/68, production lot 24010101, and manufacturing and expiry dates marked as June 25, 2025 and June 25, 2028, respectively.
However, the FDA reported that the number G508/68 actually belongs to a different registered product, not the Chang Thai herbal inhaler in question.
Additionally, the advertisement lacked a valid herbal product advertising licence number, raising further concerns about its legitimacy.
The FDA stated that legal action is being pursued against those responsible for the unauthorised sale and advertisement of the product.
Similarly, back in October last year, Thailand’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) flagged the popular herbal inhaler brand Hong Thai Formula 2 for microbial contamination after routine sampling found it breached multiple safety regulations.
