Recently, market regulators, in collaboration with public security authorities, uncovered a case involving the illegal repackaging of medical-grade injection needles intended for aesthetic procedures. At the scene, over 1,200 illegally repackaged medical injection needles were seized. The individuals involved have been taken into custody according to the law. Investigations revealed that the group sourced bulk medical injection needles from informal channels and then manually repackaged them in unbranded, non-sterile packaging at small, makeshift workshops lacking proper sterilization qualifications. These counterfeit products were subsequently sold via online platforms to various medical aesthetic clinics and individual consumers across the country.

These illegally repackaged needles not only fail to undergo rigorous sterilization procedures, but some products even exhibit issues such as deformed needle tips and non-standard dimensions—problems that could lead to serious consequences like injection-site infections or tissue necrosis after use. Currently, relevant authorities have launched an investigation into the distribution channels of these implicated products and are urging consumers that medical aesthetic injections are classified as medical procedures. Therefore, it’s crucial to choose reputable, licensed medical aesthetic facilities and avoid using unverified, improperly packaged consumables. If consumers come across any suspicious or illegal activities, they are encouraged to report them promptly to the regulatory authorities.
