Do you have friends who regularly go into JB for cheap stuff? Maybe even baby products?

If you’re at that age where people around you are becoming parents, you’d have heard about these two things.

How it’s so expensive to have a baby here, and how they’re going to JB this weekend to get baby products.

But hear this, if you, or your friends, think this way, then it’s time to reconsider your options. That or just be more careful about what you buy.

Here’s why.

Fake Infant Milk Discovered in Johor

Okay, let me put a quick disclaimer here: I’m not saying all the baby products in Malaysia are fakes.

Just last week, it was reported that the police raided five premises in Johor Bahru after complaints by the original milk producers.

They announced that the milk formula has been sent for lab testing on 14 Dec and the results will only be out two weeks later (28 Dec).

The milk formula in question were 210 boxes of Enfalac A+ Step 1.

The police clarified that they started investigating after a baby started vomiting after consumption of the fake milk.

More parents are stepping up with accounts of their own children having rashes and fevers from consumption of the counterfeit milk.

The manufacturer of Enfalac infant formula in Malaysia has also stepped forward to replace the affected products as well.

They asked consumers and stores to return the Enfalac A+ Step 1 in a 1.8kg box (with three pouches of formula) to them in exchange for a replacement pack which has more identifying marks.

They also clarified that the milk powder affected are those sold in stores in Iskandar Puteri, Taman Mutiara Rini, Taman Orkid and Taman Nusa Bestari.

(Take note to see if you’ve bought any from these areas, okay?)

So there you are, thinking, what kind of monsters would do this to cute, innocent babies? Not scared meh?

Pretty far away from JB, plus the Malaysian authorities are cracking down heavily on counterfeit baby products.

But seriously, has no one taught them that babies are considered off-limits?
