The National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has shut down an illegal factory producing counterfeit cosmetic products at Benue Plaza, Trade Fair Complex in Lagos State.
This action followed a raid by NAFDAC operatives who discovered various unregistered chemicals, packaging materials, and expired products that were being revalidated for sale.
In a post shared on its X handle on Tuesday, NAFDAC revealed that over 1,200 cartons of fake cosmetic products were seized during the operation.
Items such as mini-mixing containers, unlabelled chemicals, batch coding materials, and thinners were confiscated and transferred to the agency’s office for further investigation.
