Teerapong Rabueathum, founder of Thai Herbal Hongthai Co Ltd, held a press conference yesterday to clarify that some of the company’s manufacturing sites were unlicensed.

His remarks followed a raid by Consumer Protection Police Division (CPPD) officers and the FDA on four unauthorised sites producing Hong Thai inhalants. More than 2.3 million items worth over 120 million baht were seized on Thursday.
