The Sharjah Economic Development Department (SEDD) on Sunday seized counterfeit products worth more than Dh5 million.
A senior official at the department said the seized products included 43,440 fake spare parts, 94,656 fake personal care products, and 40,560 cosmetic products.
Sultan Abdullah bin Hadda Al Suwaidi, chairman of the SEDD, said that this seizure comes within the department's efforts to save the markets from violations of laws in order to ensure that markets in Sharjah are free from counterfeit products that pose threat to public health and safety.
Al Suwaidi pointed out that the department will continue the inspection campaign, targeting fake goods as part of its duty to protect the community from the dealers who want to gain profits through illegal ways. He added that these periodic inspections on existing facilities in the emirate are done to ensure that everyone is committed to obey the regulations as well as to offer the best services to consumers. "The SEDD plays this role to ensure that fake products are not being sold in the market. The monitoring will be continued to deter violators," Al Suwaidi stressed.
Salim Al Suwaidi, deputy director of the Commercial Control and Protection Department at the SEDD, said that the department makes continuous efforts to control the market to ensure that no commercial fraud is taking place.
He stressed on the importance of making the consumers aware of the ill-effects of buying cheap products, especially the ones that are used in daily life - such as food, electrical appliances and construction materials - because they will have a negative impact on the environment and consumer health.
Ali Fadil, head of Commercial Protection Section at the SEDD, said that the main goal of such campaigns is to make sure that products displayed in the market are good and meet the approved terms and conditions.
