NAFDAC Finds Unregistered Cosmetics in Lagos Trade Fair Raid

In a recent operation, the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) found unregistered and unlabelled cosmetics at the Tools and Hardware Complex in the Lagos Trade Fair Complex. This follows a previous raid where the agency uncovered fake wine packaging.

NAFDAC shared details of the operation on its official X account. The agency has consistently warned that using banned and unregistered cosmetics can lead to skin damage and expose users to harmful chemicals.

NAFDAC has encouraged the public to report any suspicious products to their nearest office. In February, the agency discovered banned and fake cosmetics valued at over ₦3 billion in a warehouse at the APT Trade Fair Complex. This included large quantities of banned soaps.

The agency’s ongoing efforts aim to protect consumers from unsafe products in the market.
