SINGAPORE: Herbal inhalers contaminated with microbes such as bacteria, yeast or mould may irritate a user’s nose and throat. And vulnerable users may be at risk of lung infection, said health experts.
Their comments follow the recall of a batch of Hong Thai Herbal Inhaler Formula 2 on Oct 29, after the Thai Food and Drug Administration (FDA) detected unsafe levels of microbial contamination during a routine inspection.
