Anvisa bans two products sold online; see which ones they are
Anvisa bans products sold online. See which items were affected and the reasons for the decision.
The National Agency of Vigilância Sanitária (Anvisa) has banned the marketing of two products sold on the internet after identifying health irregularities. The measure, released on Tuesday, hits a cleanser and a hair bleaching powder that were available on e-commerce platforms.
The determinations were published in the Official Journal of the Union (DOU) and establish restrictions on the manufacture, sale, dissemination and use of the products. According to Anvisa, the items do not meet the requirements for their regular marketing in Brazil.
What products have been banned by Anvisa?
The first product affected by the decision is Supermax sodium percarbonate, manufactured by the company G.A dos Santos-Produtos Químicos.
According to the regulatory agency, the sanitation plant does not have sanitary regulation, despite being announced and marketed on the Shopee platform.
In view of the irregularity, Anvisa has decided to prohibit the manufacture, marketing, dissemination and use of the product.
The second item is the New Delhi bleaching powder, used in hair bleaching procedures.
According to Anvisa, the cosmetic was sold on platforms such as Mercado Livre and Shopee, but it does not have a health registration or notification. In addition, the company responsible for manufacturing does not have the Company Operating Authorization (AFE), required for the activity.
Because of these irregularities, the agency ordered the seizure of the bleach and prohibited its manufacture, distribution, sale, disclosure and use.
Why were the products banned?
The decision of Anvisa is related to the absence of regularization of products and the non-compliance of sanitary requirements.
In the case of the Supermax sanitation system, the problem identified was marketing without the necessary regularization.
In relation to the New Delhi bleaching powder, two irregularities were identified: the absence of registration or notification of the cosmetic and the lack of sanitary authorization for the operation of the manufacturer.
Regularization of health is important to allow the supervision of products and to verify their compliance with the standards established for each category.
The measure does not, in itself, mean that health damage caused by the items has been proven. The prohibition disclosed by Anvisa was based on the regulatory irregularities identified.
Ponta Grossa and region consumer guidance
The determination is national and should also be observed by consumers and traders of Ponta Grossa and Campos Gerais.
Those who have purchased any of the products mentioned must stop using them, as determined by the agency, and seek the seller for guidance on the purchase.
The recommendation is that consumers check the manufacturer’s identification and the regularization situation of the products before making purchases, especially on digital platforms.
Anvisa maintains official channels for product consultation and information on health measures in Brazil.
