The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), on Saturday said, it has uncovered unlabelled and unregistered cosmetics and packaging materials at the Tools and Hardware Complex, at the Trade Fair Complex in Lagos.
This is coming few weeks after the agency uncovered a fake wine packaging factory at the same Lagos Trade Fair Complex.
The agency disclosed this in a video posted on its official X handle on Saturday.
“An enforcement operation has uncovered unlabelled and unregistered cosmetics and packaging materials at the Tools and Hardware Complex, Trade Fair Complex, Lagos,” NAFDAC said.
The Agency 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 ₦3bn in a warehouse hidden inside an unfinished building at the APT Trade Fair Complex.
Items recovered 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.
