The owner of Pasco Global Limited, Pius Effiong Eyoh, has been apprehended by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) over alleged manufacture, packaging, distribution and sale of various substandard and spurious cosmetic products.
The Investigation and Enforcement Directorate of NAFDAC through its social media handle @NafdacAgency, gave an insight into the illegal operation of a fake cosmetics manufacturer situated at the Balogun Trade Fair Gate in Trade Fair Complex in Lagos.
Also Worth Mentioning: NAFDAC denies any deaths caused by J&J cough syrup that was recalled.
Some examples are “Skin Balance Perfect Knuckle Organic Peel Therapy” and “Golden Face Triple Action Concentrated Perfect Skin” which are among other substandard items illicitly made by this entity.
Eyoh was caught while processing and packaging these cosmetics that had French inscriptions on them with nonexistent Cameroonian address.
A statement from the agency showed that its prompt action led to shutting down the unlicensed factory; arresting Mr. Eyoh as well as arranging for destruction of all counterfeit products.
