The Nigerian Federal Government, through the National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control, (NAFDAC) has shut down an illegal factory producing counterfeit cosmetic products at the Trade Fair Complex in Lagos State.
NAFDAC while making the announcement via a post on X on Tuesday, explained that the factory was shut down after its personnel raided the location and found various unregistered chemicals and packaging materials, bundled together with expired products that were being revalidated for sale.
During the operation, over 1,200 cartons of fake cosmetic products were seized by NAFDAC and they included mini-mixing containers, unlabelled chemicals, batch coding materials, and thinners.
What They’re Saying
“The Agency estimates the street value of the confiscated items to be around N50 million.
“NAFDAC urges the public to be cautious when purchasing cosmetic products and report any suspicious activities to the nearest NAFDAC office.”
