The products in question include ‘Boryung NUK Baby Powder’, ‘Boryung NUK Baby Compact Powder (White)’, ‘Boryung NUK Baby Colored Compact Powder (Pink)’, and ‘Boryung NUK Clinic Baby Powder’.
Parents, who used the products in question for their infants and babies, claim for compensation for damage such as side effects, check-up costs for possible physical damage and disease, mental shock, and a sense of guilt on their child.
