Zhuhai Qisitech Responds to 2Firsts: Emergency Plan Activated, Suspends Production of Affected Products
Zhuhai Qisitech responds to being on FDA "red list," taking swift actions to address concerns.

On October 16th, 2Firsts reported that a manufacturing product of Zhuhai Qisitech (referred to as "Zhuhai Qisi") was included in the "red list" incident. (Click here to read the article).

 

In response to the incident, Zhuhai Qisi issued a statement today (October 17th), addressing two key points. The specifics of their response are as follows:

 

1. The product in question does not belong to our company.

2. The management team of Zhuhai Qisi has attached great importance to this matter, conducting a thorough analysis and investigation in a timely manner while actively implementing response measures. As a global aerosol contract manufacturing company, Zhuhai Qisi has always placed product quality and compliance at a high priority. In response to the recent FDA announcement, the company has swiftly initiated an emergency plan, demonstrating a firm attitude and efficient actions in addressing the issue.

 

Currently, Zhuhai Qisi has decisively stopped production of the products involved, actively contacted customers and brands, and jointly carried out an investigation to cope with this crisis, making every effort to minimize the adverse impact on the market. At the same time, Zhuhai Qisi is actively communicating with the FDA. We also hope that in the future, the FDA will conduct more comprehensive evaluations and considerations for every product from China.

 

In conclusion, we will continue to enhance communication and cooperation with customers and regulatory authorities, providing reliable and compliant products to the market and consumers with a high sense of responsibility.
