NAFDAC Confiscates Suspected Counterfeit Cosmetics, Other Products in Delta Market
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has confiscated suspected counterfeit cosmetics and other regulated products during an enforcement operation at Igbudu Market in Warri, Delta State.
In a statement shared on its official Facebook page, the agency said the operation followed intelligence reports about the circulation of counterfeit regulated products in the market.
NAFDAC explained that its enforcement team visited identified shops and locations, where suspected counterfeit products were discovered and evacuated.
Among the items confiscated were suspected counterfeit cosmetics bearing popular brand names, including Listerine and Nivea.
The agency also warned members of the public against purchasing KY Jelly lubricant currently found in circulation, noting that the product’s marketing authorisation holders had confirmed that the last authorised supply was made more than five years ago.
It therefore advised consumers to treat any such product currently available in the market as suspicious.
NAFDAC also dismissed social media reports claiming that its officers were attacked or chased out of the market, clarifying that the operation was successfully completed.
The agency maintained that its officers gained access to all identified locations and evacuated the suspected counterfeit products.
