尼日利亚标准局SON封存了非法进口的过期家用日用品

SON Clamps Down on Syndicate Importing Expired Household Consumables

    尼日利亚标准组织（SON）昨天突击检查了位于拉各斯的Kirikiri镇的14栋单位的三层建筑，查出了过期的家用耗材和化妆品，数十亿奈拉。 产品由经营不合格和过期产品的集团进口到该国。

    在仓库发现的产品包括2009年至2015年期间的婴儿尿布，护肤霜，卫生洁具，洗涤剂和其他家庭用品。根据我们的记者来说，最令人担忧的是过期的婴儿尿布对婴儿产生负面影响。

    尼日利亚标准组织总监（SON），Osita Aboloma解释说，该机构被举报时仓库里面存放各种过期产品，指出当产品过期时，它失去了活性成分， 失去疗效，不再适用。 他说，由于这样做，进口商将根据2015年第14号新的“SON法”进行起诉，并给该机构申诉的权力。

     Bede Obayi说：“我们发现的是一个可疑的仓库，他们将产品转移到开放市场和超市。 我们将进行进一步的调查，并通过我们在全国各地的办事处通过销售/供应记录的进行召回。

    当我们收到交易的所有细节时，我们将升级召回过程。 只要我们发现这些产品在任何地方流通，SON将以进口商的代价来接收这些产品。 SON不能容忍这种可恶的行为和危害尼日利亚人的商品。

    SON不可接受，我们也不能接受这一点。“Aboloma进一步表示：”想象一下，2015年过期的产品在2017年被用来包装婴儿。对婴儿的影响当然会是负面的反应。 我们有婴儿粉自2013年以来已经过期，四年后，产品仍在进入市场。 在销售之前，他们删除到期日期，并提出新的日期来欺骗不知情的消费者，当您购买这些产品时，您认为它们是可以帮助您的产品，而不知道它们是会导致各种疾病的产品。

    据SON官员说，许多无辜的人不知道自己的疾病根本原因，因为经营过期和不合格产品的进口商正在杀害无辜的尼日利亚人并且掠夺他们的钱。

    他呼吁尼日利亚人同该机构携手合作，努力维护尼日利亚人免受不合标准产品的危害，并表示SON将继续努力，实现对该国不合格产品的零容忍。

    “这些产品是流行和进口品牌，表明这些人到海外购买接近有效期的产品，并将其带到这里。 我们已经发现在建筑物的每个部分都塞满了产品。 这告诉你这个进口商引入这些不合标准产品的犯罪程度。”Engr. Obayi说。

The Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) yesterday stormed a three storey building of 14 flats located at Kirikiri town, in Lagos, seizing expired household consumables and cosmetics worth billions of naira. The products were imported into the country by a syndicate dealing in substandard and expired products.

Products discovered at the warehouse included baby diapers, body creams, sanitary pads, detergents and other household items with expiration dates between 2009 and 2015. The most worrisome according to our correspondent, are expired baby diapers which have negative effects on babies.

Director General, Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON), Osita Aboloma explained that ?the agency, courtesy of a tip off, stormed the warehouse, stocked with all sorts of expired products, pointing out that when a product expires it loses its active ingredients, loses its efficacy and can no longer be fit for purpose. He said as a result of this, the importer would be prosecuted based on the new SON Act number 14 of 2015 which gives the agency the power of prosecution.

Aboloma who was represented by the Director, Compliance Directorate, SON, Engr. Bede Obayi said “What we have discovered is a dubious warehouse where people churn out products to open markets and supermarkets. We are going to carry out further investigations and initiate the process of recall using the sales/supply records through our offices located nationwide.

We are going to escalate the recall process when we get all the details of their transactions. Anywhere we find these products in circulation, SON would pick them up at the cost of this importer. SON can no longer tolerate this nefarious act and people who are out to kill Nigerians in the name of merchandise.

This is not acceptable to SON and we cannot take this.” Aboloma further stated: “Imagine a product that expired in 2015 being used in wrapping up a baby in 2017. The effect on the baby, of course would be negative reaction. We have baby powders that have expired since 2013 and four years after, the products are still going into the market. Before they sell, they remove the expiry dates and put new dates to deceive the unsuspecting consumers and when you buy these products, you think they are products that can help you, not knowing that they are products that would cause you all sorts of diseases.”

According to the SON official, many innocent people suffer without knowing the root causes of their illnesses, maintaining that the importers of expired and substandard products are killing and robbing innocent Nigerians ?of their hard-earned money.

He urged Nigerians to join hands with the agency in its quest to safeguard Nigerians against the hazards of substandard products, adding that SON would continue to work hard to achieve its zero tolerance for substandard products in the country.

“These products are popular and imported brands which show that these people go overseas to buy products that are close to their expiry dates and bring them here. We have discovered products stuffed in every part of the building. This tells you the magnitude of crime that this Importer is committing bringing in these magnitude of substandard products,” Engr. Obayi stated.
