Vietnam's Drug Administration has ordered a nationwide recall of Coop Select feminine hygiene solution (150 ml) after tests revealed microbial contamination exceeding quality standards. The recall, announced on June 2, 2026, affects importers and distributors handling Vietnamese cosmetic products, signaling stricter enforcement of microbiological limits in personal care items.
Recall details
The recalled product carries cosmetic registration number 002013/25/CBMP-HCM, batch number S2510087, with a production date of October 21, 2025, and an expiry date of October 21, 2027. The market authorization holder is Truong Duong Investment and Trading Joint Stock Company, based in Ho Chi Minh City. Manufacturing took place at the company's branch in Ba Diem Commune, Ho Chi Minh City.
Testing and findings
Samples were collected from two Coopmart supermarkets in Tay Ninh Province—Coopmart Tan Chau and Coopmart Tay Ninh. Tests conducted by the Ho Chi Minh City Institute of Drug Testing and the Tay Ninh Provincial Center for Disease Control confirmed that the batch failed to meet quality standards for microbial limits. No further details on specific microorganisms were disclosed.
Regulatory action
The Drug Administration has instructed provincial health departments to immediately notify businesses and consumers to stop distribution and use of the affected batch. All products must be returned to the supplier. Local health authorities are required to intensify inspections and strictly handle any violations.
What buyers should watch
Truong Duong Investment and Trading must issue recall notices across its entire distribution network and to end users, collect and destroy the non-compliant batch, and submit a report by July 1, 2026. The Ho Chi Minh City Health Department is tasked with supervising the recall and destruction, as well as auditing the company's compliance with cosmetic regulations. A compliance report is due by July 15, 2026. Overseas buyers sourcing from Vietnam should verify batch records and request microbial test certificates from suppliers to avoid similar regulatory risks.
