On 18-Nov-2010, HSA supervised the voluntary market recall of all batches of ‘Oral Guard Antiseptic-Antiplaque Mouthwash', imported by Medimex Singapore Pte Ltd and distributed by IDS Pharmaceutical Division.
This is paradoxical as antiseptic-containing product was found
to be contaminated with unacceptable levels of bacteria, specifically identified as Burkholderia cepacia which may pose serious health events, especially users with compromised immune system.
