The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has uncovered unlabelled and unregistered cosmetics and packaging materials at the Tools and Hardware Complex within the Lagos Trade Fair Complex. This discovery follows a prior operation where the agency found packaging for fake wine in the same location.
In a post shared on its official X account, NAFDAC announced the details of the operation, emphasizing the potential dangers posed by banned and unregistered cosmetics, which can cause skin damage and expose users to harmful chemicals. The agency has urged the public to report any suspicious products to their nearest office.
Earlier this year, NAFDAC reported seizing banned and unregistered cosmetics valued at over ₦3 billion from a warehouse hidden in an unfinished building at the APT Trade Fair Complex. Among the items recovered were significant quantities of products such as Crusader soap and E45 soap, which are banned by the Federal Government.
