Fake cosmetics facility discovered in Hanoi<\/h2>\n
\n

Whether it is shampoo and soap, or makeup and perfume, we all use some kinds of cosmetic products daily.<\/p>\n

With such a high demand for them, it comes as no surprise that some individuals would create fake products to make some quick cash – regardless of the harm they could cause to the health of others.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, we now have one less fake product facility to worry about. Authorities in Hanoi recently raided a shady cosmetics facility <\/strong>and seized tons of low-quality cosmetics<\/strong> masquerading as those from respected brands.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at what they found.<\/p>\n

Last Wednesday, a check was conducted on a local cosmetics manufacturer by officers from the Hanoi Directorate of Market Surveillance and the Thanh Oai District\u2019s police department, reported Zing News<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

The search uncovered tons of low-quality shampoo, perfume, and other cosmetic products made from various chemicals and stored in unsanitary buckets.<\/p>\n

By the time authorities arrived, workers at the facility were extracting these substances into bottles bearing labels from respected brands such as Chanel, Pink Lady Shower, Collagen X 12, and more. The bottles were to be delivered to retailers for distribution and consumption.<\/p>\n

The authorities ended up confiscating 13,000 manufactured products, as well as many ingredients of unknown origins, reported VNExpress<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Their total worth is estimated at 6 to 7 billion VND (~USD261,000-USD304,000).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Further investigations are ongoing.<\/p>\n

Beware of fake cosmetics sold at low prices<\/h3>\n
\n

While it is a good thing that this shady manufacturer was busted, there are probably still some out there that have yet to be discovered.<\/p>\n

Let this case be a reminder for us all to pay more attention to the origins of the products we consume.<\/p>\n

For our own well-being, it\u2019s best to buy from creditable retailers, even if their prices might be higher.<\/p>\n
