Brazil's Anvisa suspends multiple medical and consumer products over safety concerns
The Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária (Anvisa) has issued a series of precautionary measures against a range of products due to irregularities or safety concerns. It suspended the sale, import, distribution, advertising and use of the Bio‑Aid catheter‑fixing dressing imported by Bio Company Comércio e Serviços Ltda., applying only to batches produced from 22 April, after an inspection found non‑compliance with Brazilian sanitary law. The agency also placed a 90‑day precautionary interdiction on the BD Abiocat intravenous catheter made by Becton Dickinson Indústrias Cirúrgicas Ltda. following an unsatisfactory surface‑verification test.
Anvisa ordered the recall of a specific batch (114053) of the paracetamol product Paramol 750 mg from Belfar Ltd. after detecting possible mold contamination. It prohibited the commercialization and ordered the seizure of all San Olivetto extra‑virgin olive oil batches because laboratory tests showed an unsatisfactory refraction index and the product’s origin could not be verified. The agency likewise seized all products of the brand Fatti a Mano for lack of registration and because they were manufactured in an unlicensed facility.
In the aesthetic sector, Anvisa banned five products sold by Dherma Shop Saúde Ltda. after finding they were advertised and sold online without the required sanitary registration and without an operating licence. Additionally, the regulator mandated the recall of several medical devices used for osteoarthrite treatment—including Suprahyal One, Suprahyal Duo and Cryo.On—after inspections revealed production irregularities. Finally, Anvisa published a list of seven active pesticide ingredients for re‑evaluation, noting that several are prohibited in the European Union, highlighting ongoing concerns about chemical safety.
These actions affect manufacturers, distributors and consumers across Brazil, reflecting Anvisa’s intensified enforcement of health‑related product standards.
