FDA seizes over 15,000 unapproved baby diapers in Ghana's Western North Region

The Food and Drugs Authority FDA in Ghana's Western North Region, supported by the Ghana Police Service and the Consumer Protection Agency, has confiscated approximately 15,523 unapproved baby diapers from 21 retail outlets. This operation, conducted in areas including Dwenase, Bekwai, Asawinso, Bibiani, and Juaboso, aims to curb the proliferation of unapproved and second-hand baby diapers. Albert Ankomah, the Western North Regional Director of the FDA, stated that the initiative is designed to safeguard infants from potential harm associated with substandard products. He advised parents to purchase only registered and properly packaged diapers for their children's safety. Ankomah also cautioned wholesalers and retailers to exclusively deal in FDA-approved and registered products, warning of legal consequences for non-compliance. He further advised the public against buying from unauthorized sellers due to potential health risks. The FDA has committed to ongoing surveillance efforts across the region to ensure consumer safety.
