UAE withdraws two insect repellent sprays for violating safety standards

The Emirates Drug Establishment (EDE) has recalled "Goodbye all insect max kills in one spray" and "Goodbye all insect spray" due to non-compliance with its regulatory requirements.

Both sprays are manufactured by SCITRA.

The authority said active ingredients' concentration ratios in "Goodbye all insect max kills in one spray" did not comply to its standards, while the "Goodbye all insect spray" contained a prohibited substance in its formula. 

The products were immediately withdrawn from the market to prevent further circulation and avoid any health risks, with consumers encouraged to stop using, purchasing or distributing these products.

The Emirates Drug Establishment continues its regulatory and oversight efforts to protect consumer health and safety and ensure that products circulating in the market comply with approved regulatory requirements and standards. pic.twitter.com/Rq8aSKAqlo
