TLDR

  • Argentina's National Administration of Medicines, Foods, and Medical Technology (Anmat) has ordered the recall of a perfume extract.
  • The product, 'Thone' perfume extract by Leduft, was found to originate from an 'experimental batch' with quality irregularities.
  • Anmat prohibited its sale and distribution nationwide due to unknown composition and manufacturing conditions.

The National Administration of Medicines, Alimentos and Medical Technology (Anmat) has taken decisive action by ordering the withdrawal of a perfume extract from the market due to serious quality concerns. The product in question, identified as 'Thone' perfume extract under the brand Leduft (batch number 1469, expiry 06/27), has been prohibited from sale, marketing, and distribution throughout Argentina.

The measure was established through Disposition 1859/2026, published this Tuesday in the Official Gazette.

— AnmatAnnouncing the official regulatory action taken against the perfume product.

Anmat initiated an investigation following reports of quality deviations within the product's 'Cosmetovigilancia' system. The investigation revealed discrepancies regarding the manufacturing of the specific batch. While the registered manufacturer, Laboratorio San José de Mancusso Hernán Leonardo, denied involvement in producing this particular lot, the brand holder, Leduft, admitted that the batch was an 'initial and experimental' production. Leduft also acknowledged that some units from this experimental phase had left internal company control before full regulatory compliance was achieved.

The entity in charge of Luis Eduardo Fontana imposed the prohibition of use, commercialization, advertising, publication on online sales platforms, and distribution throughout the national territory of the product identified as: 'Lot 1469; Expiration 06/27, Thone perfume extract, brand Leduft, LEG: 2891'.

Consequently, Anmat has banned the product to safeguard public health. The agency cited the unknown composition and manufacturing conditions of the perfume extract, which was produced in facilities lacking sanitary authorization. This lack of verifiable information means that guarantees regarding the product's efficacy, safety, or the use of permitted ingredients cannot be provided, necessitating its immediate removal from circulation.

The entity initiated the investigation into the production of the product after evaluation, investigation, and analysis of reports in the Cosmetovigilancia area regarding a quality deviation.
