Gyeonggi Special Judicial Police Crack Down on 29 Locations Including Adult Product Stores with Youth Access

Adult product store owners who did not restrict youth access or sold counterfeit erectile dysfunction treatments were extensively arrested by the Gyeonggi-do Special Judicial Police Unit.

Gyeonggi-do announced on the 2nd that from February 1 to 23, they conducted intensive crackdowns on 115 adult product stores and other locations, identifying 9 unmanned adult product stores that did not restrict youth access and 20 stores that sold counterfeit erectile dysfunction treatments, confiscating over 3,000 counterfeit medicines on site.

Investigation results revealed that these individuals operated adult product stores and secretly sold counterfeit erectile dysfunction treatments to customers visiting the stores.

Additionally, stores operating unmanned adult product shops without installing access authentication systems, allowing youth to enter, as well as stores that did not display signs prohibiting youth access and employment, were also identified.

The Gyeonggi Provincial Special Judicial Police Unit has uncovered 29 illegal adult toy stores within the province.

During the investigation, Gyeonggi-do requested an appraisal of the confiscated medicines from an official importer, which confirmed them as counterfeit medicines. Through component testing by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety Evaluation Institute, it was confirmed that the main ingredients of the erectile dysfunction treatments either exceeded or fell below the standard levels. These drugs were found to be poorly manufactured, containing many ingredients different from those indicated on the labels.

Hong Eun-gi, head of the Gyeonggi-do Special Judicial Police Unit, stated, "Counterfeit medicines with unverified ingredients can pose serious harm to the health and safety of residents. They must be purchased safely at pharmacies with a doctor's prescription."
