Thailand’s popular herbal inhaler brand, Hong Thai Herbal, has recalled over 200,000 units of its Formula 2 inhalers after the Thai FDA detected microbial contamination during safety checks. The affected batch, produced in December 2024 and set to expire in 2027, tested positive for yeasts, moulds, and Clostridium bacteria. The company apologised and pledged full refunds, assuring that other products remain safe. Known globally as yadom and endorsed by celebrities like BLACKPINK’s Lisa and Chris Hemsworth, Hong Thai faces scrutiny as Thai herbal exports grow. The recall underscores the need for stricter quality control in Thailand’s booming wellness industry.
