Brazil's National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) has ordered the removal of batches of Ypê detergents, washes, and disinfectants from store shelves, striking Química Amparo—the manufacturer—during one of its most aggressive expansion phases.

On April 30, Arce filed an appeal for amparo before the Constitutional Chamber, for discrimination. On May 11, the Chamber decided to proceed with the amparo and requested a report from the hotel within three business days. The entrance to the Occidental Papagayo Hotel denies entry to a guide dog and a visually impaired couple presents an appeal for amparo that first appears in Semanario Universidad .
