Officials of National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), have sealed Kelv-Chem Cosmetics Industry in Enugu for not registering with the agency.
The State Coordinator of the Agency, Mr Ikechukwu Okoye made the disclosure on Thursday while briefing newsmen in Enugu.
He said that when the enforcement team from the agency visited the site of the company at Abakpa Nike, it discovered that the products manufactured by the company were fake.
He said that the company produces body cream, hair shampoo, hair cream, hair conditioners and other hair treatment products and label them made in England or USA.
Okoye said that after sealing the company, NAFDAC would report to the police and the agency’s enforcement team to arrest Mr Kelvin Eze the owner of the company.
``All we solicit is prompt information from the public to enable us stop the activities of these economic saboteurs,’’ he said.
He urged the public to check NAFDAC registration number, production, expiry date and the address of where the products were produced before buying them.
``If you see products without NAFDAC registration number, you should be on your toes because what we give is NAFDAC registration number.
``Most times when manufacturers fake their products, they only write NAFDAC number,” he said.
