When the Shanghai Municipal Medical Products Administration inspected the company on February 29, it was found that "Weilan Soft Fragrance Hand Cream (Mist Tea)" contained a colorant CI 61585 that should not be used. It is reported that CI 61585 is a common raw material that is commonly used in shampoos, shower gels, hand sanitizers and other products, and is limited to "cosmetics that are in temporary contact with the skin". However, the method of using this hand cream is to "clean the skin on your hands, take an appropriate amount of the product and apply it evenly to the skin of your hands, and massage your hands with your fingertips until the product is fully absorbed." Obviously, this does not fit within the scope of use of CI 61585.
The Shanghai Municipal Food and Drug Administration finally decided to impose the following administrative penalties on the parties: 1. confiscation of illegally produced cosmetics, 2. confiscation of illegal gains of 12,598.84 yuan, and 3. a fine of 346,121.1 yuan.
