The day after the first YTN report, I moved my luggage to the next factory … “Pretty much the same company”
Sales continued in government offices despite the crackdown on the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety on 20 last month
We are continuously reporting on ‘Face Recognition Thermometer’ issues.
In the middle of last month, the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety ordered the company to stop selling the device, saying it was an illegal and unauthorized medical device.
The finished product at the factory was even sealed, but as a result of YTN’s coverage, it was confirmed that the company continued to sell it to government offices, using tricks after that.
This is Sohn Hyo-jung.
[기자]Headquarters of a manufacturer of “facial recognition thermometers” in Gimpo-si, Gyeonggi-do.
A freight car with the clear company logo is located at the place where the goods are shipped.
Boxes and furniture are piled up next to him.
When the staff stays and loads everything, the truck leaves and another truck enters.
“Did you go out there now? Uh, are you going this way?”
The place where I moved my luggage without resting was an apartment-type manufacturing plant right next to the headquarters.
It happened the day after YTN’s first report pointing to an error in the ‘facial recognition thermometer’.
When reporters called the office where the luggage was being moved, the response was the same company.
[○○ 업체 : (여기 ‘얼굴인식 체온계’ 업체 맞는 거죠?) 네네.]Why did the company’s materials suddenly change?
One official said: “We have already been energetically taken over by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety and have moved the production facility for fear of further repression after YTN reported.”
However, the company representative denied the fact.
[‘얼굴 인식 업체’ 대표 : (생산 시설 옮겨서 라인 가동하신 적은 없으신 거예요?) 그런 사실 없습니다. ○○ 업체는 우리 회사가 아닙니다.]The Ministry of Food and Pharmaceutical Safety visited the company’s headquarters on the 20th of last month.
After sealing the finished product as an illegal medical device that has not been certified by authorities, he ordered company officials not to sell it.
However, as a result of YTN’s coverage, the company continued to sell devices to district offices, fire departments, and education offices.
[○○소방서 관계자 : 일주일 정도 전에 구매 요청을 해서 그때 (8월) 31일에 와서 설치하고 갔어요. 두 대 구매했어요.] [○○교육청 관계자 : 저희는 본사를 통해서 연락했어요. 여기가 공공기관인데 만약에 (단속) 사실이 있었다고 하면 저희가 구입을 하겠어요? 안 하죠, 당연히.]The company representative insisted that it never sold anything after the KFDA crackdown.
[‘얼굴 인식 업체’ 대표 : 저희는 (판매하지 말라고) 공문을 두 차례 걸쳐서 강하게 보냈어요. 판매됐다는 소리는 저는 크게 들어본 적 없는데. (식약처가) 다 봉인을 하고 갔어요, 물건을….]The company is confident that the product will sooner or later be certified as a medical device and will be receiving pre-sale.
