Thread: 654 bags of used medical gloves for resale seized by the police today

The Metropolitan Police Bureau and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today seized 654 bags of used rubber gloves, which were being repackaged as new medical gloves,from a warehouse in Pathum Thani province. If sold, the haul could have been worth 100 million baht.


Police received a tip, which led to the seizure. The used gloves appear to have come from many sources, while the “repackaging” for sale began late last year. The used gloves were sold at 160 baht per box.

Deputy Secretary-General of the FDA, Supatra Boonserm, explained that the boxes, which display the logo of a hospital,could mislead doctors and medical personnel.

Therefore, she urged them to verify approved manufacturers and importers viathe FDA’s website. Illegal importation, manufacturing or sale of medical equipment must be reported via the FDA’s hotline at 1556.


Manufacturing and/or selling medical equipment which isdeemed to be unsafe is subject to 3 years in prison and/or a fine of up to 300,000 baht.

There must have been a lot of gloves in each bag.

Only a little more salubrious than the recycled condoms they found in Vietnam.

Never a day passes in this wretchedly immoral country that yet again they display just how low they can be.

They'd sell their own grandmothers for the gold in their teeth.

They do, virtually.

In my Teakdoor photo gallery (which it appears I can no longer access) there is a photo of a poor confused old man whose daughter or granddaughter took his savings and just left him on the street in Bangkok.

I'd bet those thieving Cambodians had a hand in it.

Hope those used gloves weren’t discarded from a proctologist’s office.
