Global Response to the Oxy Incident

Reckitt Benckiser Korea (Oxy) had produced and sold humidifier sterilizers called Oxy Ssag-ssag (옥시싹싹).

This product killed 146 people, who were mostly pregnant women. According to investigations led by the South Korean government, 80.3% of the research subjects (404 people) had used the Oxy product. The harm done by Oxy must be told to the whole world.

The head of Oxy is apologizing to the South Korean public. However, Oxy products had caused fatalities in 2011. It took five years for the head of Oxy to apologize. And why did it take five years for this tragedy to gain attention from the media? It is truly frustrating and sad.
