A food safety crisis surged previously regarding the red yeast rice ingredient from the Japanese manufacturer Kobayashi Pharmaceutical, suspected to cause consumers to develop kidney diseases after consumption. In Taiwan, consumers have experienced abnormal kidney check results, with some even diagnosed with kidney issues. The Taiwan Consumers' Foundation has decided to initiate a class action lawsuit advocating for consumers' rights after the pharmaceutical company offered a full refund but lacked follow-up on medical expenses, leaving consumers distressed. Multiple affected consumers shared their experiences, prompting the foundation to seek justice and assistance for those impacted.
