Class 2 recall is initiated when the problem or defect is unlikely to cause serious harm to users. Some examples of defects that will result in a Class 2 recall include products with minor labelling errors or products which fail to meet product specification or pharmacopoeia standards but are likely to cause minimal hazard to users.
Hey, guess wat..i called up the salon yesterday asking them about this recall, the answers they gave me, i find many loopholes :
1) they claimed the contents are higher in singapore (i thought m'sia dermedex also come from singapore? does that mean they agreed that it contained dexamethasone too?)
2) they said singapore's government is stricter (so, m'sia government is not?)
3) dermedex refining cream is now only available in pharmacies and clinics under prescriptive drugs in singapore
i asked about the list of ingredients, they said will get the list for me.
then i asked about the test results, they said they sent to the factory in malacca for testing and it tested negative for dexamethasone (dont you think that's loophole here?)
if dermedex are from singapore and from the same company in singapore, i doubt that the ingredients are any differents, right?
They can pay the factory to come out with a clean list of ingredients, you know..so how can i trust them about using Dermedex anymore since it's under prescriptive item in singapore already.
Sigh! my pimples popped out as usual now.. no more clear skin
