Uneasiness

As we're leaving messages in forums we can see comments such as "That was in the early 90's...", "Those arkocapsules are not sold any longer...", "Arkopharma is a huge company internationnally respected...", "Mr Rombi is the one responsible, not Arkopharma...". Sentences that terribly show how much their authors don't feel concerned. After all while it doesn't happen to them...

The thing is some Arkopharma products lots are regularly and discretely removed from the market cautiously as not to make waves (see recent list from the French agency for sanitary safety). Before asiatitrat was withdrawn there were victims already. It's not because a product is withdrawn from the french market that it's withdrawn from the foreign ones. And when it's finally removed it's always after a non-negligeable laps of time. Arkopharma expanded not due to its "fame" but as part of a strategic economic international growth. Sure the firm makes 47% of its turnover out of France but are the consumers and potential consumers of its products well informed when products lots are withdrawn when they are and what for? Do they know some arkocapsules are responsible for serious health damages including death of women? Do they know herbs used in those arkocapsules do not have the properties claimed by Arkopharma? Do they know Max Rombi - then Arkopharma's CEO and founder and current chairman of the supervisory board - has been condemned for fraud and misleading advertisement for a product other than asiatitrat? At last would the authors of those comments trust a company which supporting its ex-CEO and founder and current chairman of its supervisory board doesn't seem to have retained its lesson by not acknowledging its mistakes - and therefore not assuming its responsabilities for the products involved and the firm has commercialized - and which unique defense policy consists in the systematical denial of facts in despite of overwhelming reports?

Once again we're inviting the authors of those comments to read our previous posts and articles, and we're still encouraging our readers to leave any comment they might have in our blog. We hope our readers we'll realize this is a problem that concerns all of us at last. In their constant fight for justice the victims will always be disadvantaged without such take of conscience and hence without the support of the public opinion in front of Max Rombi ex-CEO founder and current chairman of the supervisory board of Arkopharma, which realizes an annual turnover of approx. 230 millions euros, company that is still supporting him and which majority of shares is owned by the Rombi family.
