Wed, 7 April 2021
The sale of counterfeit or fake alcohol-based sanitising solutions and gels significantly decreased in the first three months of this year as greater awareness has spread within the business community about the problem, according to the Ministry of Commerce’s General Directorate of Consumer Protection, Competition and Fraud Prevention.
Phan Oun, head of the directorate, told The Post on April 7 that this year officials had inspected alcohol and gel retailers and distributors such as markets and pharmacies.
Out of 78 samples of items taken and tested for analysis, only two of them turned out to be fakes.
