In a determined and ongoing campaign to uphold public safety and protect consumer rights, the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) of Ghana has undertaken decisive enforcement action against counterfeit and substandard diapers infiltrating the local market.
This reflects a broader government commitment to eradicating unsafe hygiene products and ensuring that only quality-assured goods are accessible to the Ghanaian public.
Following the confiscation of two containers holding over one million fake diapers-identified as posing serious health risks to infants and unsuspecting families-the FDA oversaw their destruction through controlled incineration in Ashaiman on Thursday, April 17, 2025.
This act was not only symbolic, but a substantive measure to eliminate hazardous products from circulation, reinforce regulatory standards, and deter future violations.
