Fake soaps flooding RP

-
The Detergents Association of the Philippines (SDAP) has sought the help of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) in curbing the entry of fake bath soaps and shampoos in the country.

Members of SDAP claimed fake shampoos and soaps are imported, repacked as local brands and sold door-to-door at cheaper prices.

"The special offers are only a come-on. The products are fake since they do not actually clean," SDAP said, while adding that fake soaps and shampoos may even result in the unwanted darkening of the skin due to the chemicals used.

In response, Trade and Industry Secretary Manuel Roxas II assured members of SDAP of the department’s support in conducting an information campaign on the hazards of using fake products. – Marianne Go
