Simba Under Investigation in Hong Kong Over Alleged Sale of Carcinogenic Sanitary Pads: Xin Xuan Responds
Rumors allege Chinese livestreamer Xinba is under investigation and detained following claims his “Cotton Secret” sanitary napkins caused cancer. Xin Selection denies the accusations. This follows Xinba’s announcement of retirement due to health issues, handing operations to his wife. Notably, Xinba has announced similar departures before. The controversy stems from numerous reports of cancer diagnoses among users of “Cotton Secret,” which was found to contain thiourea in testing. The company asserts the thiourea levels pose no health risk, and regulators claim the product met standards upon previous inspection. Alleged victims have remained silent since the initial accusations.
