Israel's Ministry of Health issued a public warning on Thursday against purchasing and using injectable hyaluronic acid products, following the theft of thousands of packages from the warehouses of AlphaMedix and Omegamedix Ltd. approximately one month ago. Authorities suspect the stolen products may be illegally marketed. Among the stolen items are various Radiessp and Stylage products, including Stylage Special Lips Lido, Stylage XL Lido, Stylage L, Stylage M Lido, Stylage L Lido, and Stylage XXL Mepi. There is concern that these stolen products are being illicitly distributed in Israel to clinics, aesthetic treatment centers, and private physicians. These products require controlled storage and transportation conditions, which cannot be guaranteed after their theft. The Ministry of Health emphasizes that using injection materials acquired from unauthorized sources, without supervision, and contrary to usage instructions can pose significant health risks. The ministry urges professionals in aesthetic medicine to purchase products only from authorized suppliers and advises the public to ensure treatments use products from regulated and supervised sources. Individuals who suspect these products are being marketed, encounter items of unknown origin, or experience side effects are urged to report to the "Kol HaBriut" hotline at *5400.
