Weeks after popular emcee Patcharasri Kalamae Benjamas and her dietary supplements hit the headlines, the Food and Drug Administration has lodged a complaint with police against her for exaggerating the quality of her product range.
The agency also ordered all her advertisements on social media and other channels to be pulled.
Patcharasri had told her followers that her food supplement product, Botera , which was approved by the FDA, has firmed up her skin, and removed her wrinkles and bags under her eyes. She also claimed that she didn t need to resort to cosmetic surgery because the product changed her facial features to look more chiselled.
