The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control NAFDAC, has shut three shops and raided others during a clampdown on the sale of unregistered “Dr. Teal’s” brand of cosmetics in Lagos State.
While disclosing this in a post on its X handle on Saturday, the Agency stated that the action came after a complaint from the trademark holder.
“NAFDAC has shut down three cosmetics shops and raided others, targeting the sale of unregistered ‘Dr. Teal’s’ brand cosmetics. This action follows a complaint from the trademark holder regarding potential counterfeit products.
“The enforcement operation took place at the Lagos International Trade Fair Complex, Egbeda, and Ikeja areas.
“Two suspected shops along Excellent Line at the Trade Fair Complex were targeted, resulting in sealed shops and invitation letters issued to attendants.” The statement read.
Meanwhile, a related development unfolded at Okas Global Link Limited where NAFDAC confiscated over 200 cartons of various Dr. Teal’s products and other unregistered cosmetics, suspecting them to be the source of distribution
