Warning about fake pregnancy tests and fever-reducing patches

Newspapers and TV simultaneously reported on the seizure of fake pregnancy tests and fever-reducing patches, causing confusion among consumers. It is known that there are currently many fake pregnancy tests and fever-reducing patches on the market, mostly from China, without quality assessment.

Fake pregnancy tests often give false positive or false negative results. Although they do not affect health, they directly affect the user's spirit. Many victims of fake products are extremely upset and request the State to impose strong penalties to prevent this.

According to VTV (June 16, 2015), Market Management Team No. 14 (Hanoi) seized 20,000 boxes of pregnancy tests and 10,000 boxes of fever-reducing patches without a license from the Ministry of Health, but with fake labels of products from the US. A medical expert said: in principle, pregnancy tests and fever-reducing patches must be assessed for quality and licensed for circulation by the Ministry of Health. Most of the fake pregnancy tests and fever-reducing patches originate from China, but after arriving in Vietnam, they are labeled as European origin or "made in Vietnam". The fake goods will be confiscated. However, when the agencies came to check, a large number of fake goods had already been consumed, causing damage to buyers. Many tragicomic stories have happened from using fake pregnancy tests. Ms. Mai Hoa, a victim of a fake pregnancy test: “I have been married for a long time, so when I saw two lines on the test, I was filled with joy. Who would have thought that when I went to the hospital to test again, I was still not pregnant, I felt extremely disappointed. When I asked my friends, they all had to be disappointed a few times because of false positives, because they bought fake pregnancy tests, so the results were incorrect...”.

Medical experts recommend that to avoid buying fake pregnancy tests and fever-reducing patches, women should only buy branded products with a clear registration number from the Ministry of Health printed on the box, and not buy products that are too cheap, because they may be fake. Currently on the market, there are many pregnancy tests and fever-reducing patches that do not have a registration number printed on the box. When buying these products, women do not know whether they are buying real or fake products, and whether the quality is controlled and guaranteed. Therefore, you must be very careful when buying pregnancy tests and fever-reducing patches to avoid buying fake products, which will not only waste money but also cause more sadness.

For products manufactured in Vietnam, the box will be printed with a specific registration number, name and address of the manufacturer, so that consumers know it is genuine.
