CYBERJAYA, May 24 ― The Medical Device Authority confiscated 143,284 units of contact lenses worth RM700,000 at premises in a fashion wholesale mall in Jalan Gelugor, Pudu in the federal capital on May 20.
During the second raid, which was conducted following public complaints, MDA enforcement officers found evidence of the sale and distribution of unregistered contact lenses by an unlicensed company.“Information from whistleblowers revealed that the sale was still ongoing, and it is believed that the products were illegally imported from South Korea and not registered with the MDA.
Elaborating, Muralitharan said the company committed various offences under the Medical Device Act 2012, including failing to register medical devices and not having an Establishment Licence.If found guilty, the company is looking at a maximum fine of RM200,000 or imprisonment of up to three years, or both.
“These products had no labels when imported, and the company affixed branded stickers themselves and sold them for RM9 to RM10, which is much cheaper than market prices,” he said.
