ESCHOICE Pty Ltd, an Australia Company, has been fined over $25,000 after the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) issued them with an infringement notice.
The company had allegedly been importing unapproved medicines and medical devices for use in cosmetic procedures. The TGA has been cracking down on illegal cosmetic goods after the death of a woman in Sydney at a clinic last year.
The TGA has also published additional material for use by those who are considering undergoing a cosmetic medical procedure such as cosmetic injections and procedures involving dermal fillers. The guidance material is intended to educate the public on some of the risks associated so they can make an informed decision.
