1.5 million Counterfeit products seized
The Ministry of Commerce and Industry has confiscated over 1.5 million pieces of counterfeit electrical equipment, including mobile phone chargers which were in violation of local specifications.
The counterfeit items were seized following a raid on a villa in central Riyadh, which had been converted into a warehouse by a commercial establishment. These products, which are hazardous to consumers, have been confiscated and the villa sealed, a statement by the ministry said.
The ministry said it received a complaint from a citizen saying he suspected the villa was being used as a warehouse for counterfeit electrical equipment, which were being supplied to commercial stores in Riyadh.
