As reported by Tuoi Tre Online , the Drug Administration ( Ministry of Health ) has just issued a decision to suspend circulation, recall and destroy the entire batch of Hanayuki Sunscreen Body products (box of 1 tube of 100g) due to serious discrepancies in sun protection index. The product is labeled as SPF 50 but the actual test result only reached SPF 2.4.

The above product is brought to the market by VB Group Trading and Service Company Limited and manufactured by EBC Dong Nai Medical Factory Joint Stock Company (Dong Nai).

Notably, just a few days earlier, another batch of products called Hanayuki Shampoo (300g bottle) also from these two companies was recalled and destroyed.

EBC Pharmaceutical Group holds 98.5% of the capital of the manufacturing plant.

According to research, VB Group is the legal entity behind the Hanayuki cosmetics brand. Mr. Nguyen Quoc Vu - singer Doan Di Bang's husband - is the legal representative and general director of the company.

While Doan Di Bang is the "brand representative", directly promoting and introducing products to the market.

On the manufacturer side, EBC Dong Nai Medical Factory Joint Stock Company, formerly EBC Cosmetics Giang Dien Company Limited, was established in 2014.

Currently, the company is chairwoman of the board of directors, general director and legal representative of Ms. Do Thi Le Quyen (born in 1982). Ms. Quyen took over this position from Ms. Nguyen Thi Kim Phuong in April this year.

When it was first established, the company only registered a charter capital of 2 billion VND, with two individuals contributing capital: Mr. Bui Minh Dang (980 million VND) and Mr. Dinh Van Lien (1.02 billion VND).

However, after many changes, the company's current charter capital has increased to 60 billion VND, with the capital contribution structure changing significantly:

• EBC Pharmaceutical Group Joint Stock Company holds 98.5% of capital.

• Mr. Vuong Thanh Long contributed 1%.

• Mr. Pham Minh Duc contributed 0.5%.

CEO born in 2003, business established just one year ago

Data from the national business registration system shows that EBC Pharmaceutical Group Joint Stock Company was established in March 2024, with a charter capital of VND 15 billion.

In which Mr. Dinh Van Lien, Ms. Pham Thi Tham and Ms. Do Thi Le Quyen hold 90%, 0.5% and 9.5% respectively.

Ms. Huynh Do Tuong Vy (born in 2003) is the general director and legal representative of this enterprise.

On the official website of EBC Pharmaceutical Group, until this morning, there was still a public apology letter sent to the company of Doan Di Bang and his wife after the recall of Hanayuki shampoo products.

In the letter, the company said it immediately conducted an internal inspection, comprehensively checking the production process, environmental conditions, factory hygiene, etc. to determine the cause of the product exceeding the microbial limit.

In addition, the ingredient 2-Phenoxyethanol, although a preservative allowed for use in cosmetics, is not included in the officially announced formula. Therefore, this group committed to reviewing and adjusting the formula before announcing new products.

"We accept responsibility for the above incident, which has greatly affected your company's business operations" - excerpt from the apology letter posted on the website.

As of this morning, EBC Pharmaceutical Group Joint Stock Company has not yet made any official announcement regarding the batch of sunscreen products that have just been recalled.

On its Facebook fanpage, the group introduces itself as the owner of a modern factory with an investment scale of hundreds of billions of VND. The company introduces itself as a pioneer in the field of high-quality medical cosmetics through internal production capacity and in-depth scientific research.

The company also advertises the application of modern technology and green, safe materials to create effective products that meet international standards.

Doan Di Bang and his wife: Related to multi-level marketing, cosmetics were recalled

In addition to VB Group, Doan Di Bang and his wife were previously known for their involvement with Aloe Trading Company Limited.

Recently, the National Competition Commission sent a document to the Department of Industry and Trade of provinces and cities announcing that the multi-level marketing registration certificate of Aloe Trading Company Limited has expired since January 1, 2025.

On social networks, Doan Di Bang builds the image of a "rich businessman", often showing off his luxury house, fancy cars, luxury brands and shocking statements.
