Upon learning of the incident, the CFS immediately contacted the importer concerned for follow-up. According to the information provided, the importer has stopped selling and removed all affected products from shelves, and has voluntarily initiated a recall. Members of the public may call the importer's hotline at 2487 3453 during office hours for enquiries about the recall. ”
