The
Lagos State Consumer Protection Agency, LASCOPA, has warned consumers about
expired and near-expired products allegedly being sold with altered production
and expiry dates in markets and retail outlets across the state.
The agency raised the alarm over the alleged manipulation
of product dates, saying devices and chemicals used to erase and reprint
production and expiry dates are reportedly being circulated online.
LASCOPA said
the development could make it easier for unsafe products to be returned to the
market and sold to unsuspecting consumers.
The General Manager/CEO of LASCOPA, Afolabi Solebo, said the practice posed a serious risk to consumers and violated the Lagos State Consumer Protection Agency
