“While these stores carry a range of affordable items that people use on a daily basis, some of the products being sold there may lack the needed authorization or certification that can put the health and well-being of consumers at risk,” stressed Thony Dizon, a chemical safety campaigner of the EcoWaste Coalition.
“Regardless of where you shop offline or online consumers should be wary of the quality and safety of unauthorized or uncertified products that have not undergone the evaluation procedures as required by law,” he said.
All-in-one retail stores, which have sprouted in Metro Manila and other urban centers, are quite popular among budget and discount shoppers in need of cosmetics, electronics, hand tools, kitchenware, school supplies, toys and other miscellaneous items within their means. ....
