The National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has successfully shut down an illegal factory involved in producing counterfeit cosmetic products at Benue Plaza, Trade Fair Complex, Lagos State.
According to a post shared by the agency on its X (formerly Twitter) handle on Tuesday, September 17, NAFDAC operatives raided the factory, uncovering unregistered chemicals, packaging materials, and expired products that were being revalidated for sale.
The operation resulted in the seizure of over 1,200 cartons of counterfeit cosmetic products, furthering NAFDAC's efforts to protect public health and ensure the safety of cosmetics sold in the country.
The items including mini-mixing containers, unlabelled chemicals, batch coding materials, and thinners, were confiscated and moved to the NAFDAC office for further investigation.
