The public, particularly mothers, have been warned by the Consumer Protection Agency (CPA) to be on the lookout for fake and unclean diapers.
This alert comes after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently issued one regarding the importation of unhygienic baby diapers, which resulted in the destruction of multiple 40-foot containers containing confiscated diapers that were discovered at an Ashaiman recycling facility.
Speaking to the media, Kofi Kapito, the CPA’s chief executive officer, emphasized the serious health concerns that these inferior diapers present to kids.
In order to protect consumer safety, he further commended the FDA for acting swiftly and decisively to remove these illicit goods from the market.
What he said:
“There are companies who intentionally bring in these fake diapers which don’t meet the standard so we are creating awareness to let parents know that the fact that the diaper is cheap doesn’t mean it is of good quality.
