Ministry of Health warns: stop using DRAGONFLY hair straightening product immediately

In depth

The Ministry of Health received a report about a girl who was hospitalized with kidney damage after undergoing a hair straightening treatment at a home salon. Following the hospitalization, the ministry warned the public and salon owners against using, marketing or distributing the DRAGONFLY straightening product, and called for its use to be stopped immediately.

The ministry's check found that the product's license had been revoked at the manufacturer's request, and the product no longer appears in the cosmetics registry. The product label still bears the words "licensed by the Ministry of Health". The ministry contacted the manufacturer.

The ministry details the signs that require urgent medical attention.
