Weeks after it uncovered packaging of fake wine at the Lagos Trade Fair complex, the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has uncovered unlabeled and unregistered cosmetics and packaging materials at the Tools and Hardware Complex, in the complex.
Accompanied by a video, the agency disclosed this in a post on its official X on Saturday.
“An enforcement operation has uncovered unlabeled and unregistered cosmetics and packaging materials at the Tools and Hardware complex, Trade Fair complex, Lagos,” NAFDAC said.
NAFDAC has repeatedly warned that banned and unregistered cosmetics can cause skin damage and expose users to harmful chemicals, and has urged the public to report suspicious products to its nearest office.
In February, NAFDAC said it uncovered banned, fake and unregistered cosmetics valued at over N3billion in a warehouse hidden inside an unfinished building at the APT Trade Fair complex.
Items recovered include 728 cartons of Crusader soap, 718 cartons of E45 soap and quantities of Extract Gold whitening soap, all of which are banned by the Federal government.
