The chief of the drug safety agency, Yoon Yeo-Pyo, is quoted in the AFP report as stating of the matter, “I sincerely apologize for causing public anxiety.”
The JoongAng Daily is further quoted by AFP as stating in an editorial of the public health scare, “There are now fears that medicines and household goods might also be affected… We’re now in a situation where we don’t know which household goods we use every day are contaminated by this dangerous material.”
