Vietnam consumer product safety and regulation

Overview

Vietnamese authorities have taken multiple actions to address consumer safety and regulatory compliance. The National Competition Commission issued a safety warning regarding seven products being recalled in foreign markets, including electronic items with lithium-ion battery risks, choking hazards, and cleaning products. These items may be accessible to local consumers via cross-border e-commerce.

In a separate regulatory move, the Drug Administration of Vietnam penalized C-Store Vietnam Co., Ltd. for 75 million VND after finding that the company advertised cosmetic serums and peeling gels in a way that misled consumers into believing they were medicinal drugs. The company was ordered to remove these advertisements from social media and e-commerce platforms. Additionally, the Drug Administration revoked 715 cosmetic product registration numbers following voluntary requests from 21 companies to cease marketing specific products.
