This action is part of the Ministry of Health’s campaign to tighten control over the pharmaceutical cosmetics market, initiated earlier this year to eliminate substandard products.

The non-compliant batch, identified as S2510087, was manufactured on 21/10/2025 and expires on 21/10/2027. The Tay Ninh Center for Disease Control previously collected product samples directly from two Co.opmart supermarkets in the province, discovering violations of microbial limit standards.

Truong Duong Investment and Trading Joint Stock Company is responsible for manufacturing and distributing this cosmetic batch in TP HCM. Immediately after receiving the test results, the Drug Administration of Vietnam instructed retail systems to immediately cease sales, withdraw all faulty products from shelves, and return them to the supplier.

The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health is tasked with closely supervising the recall process and inspecting Truong Duong Company’s production and business activities.

Health experts emphasize that microbial limits are crucial for ensuring cosmetic safety. Excessive bacterial levels in sensitive area care products increase the risk of irritation and directly threaten user health. Authorities advise consumers to immediately stop using batch S2510087 and contact their point of purchase for an exchange or refund.
