The cosmetic products in question were in the form of powder, skin creams and oils, which are harmful to consumers if used. Unfortunately, traders caught selling cosmetics were not willing to admit where they obtained these goods.
I do not know the person, it’s six months I have been selling the cosmetics. I didn’t know they were harmful, said most traders.
In addition to stores in rural areas, officers also found similar cosmetics in shops and with traders in the urban market. They also found food and beverage products that have expired but are still for sale. Traders who are caught selling cosmetics with hazardous materials, including food and beverages that have expired will be given guidance by officers not to repeat their actions.
