France seizes falsified drugs labelled as Chinese tea
Customs signCustoms officers in France have confiscated millions of fake aspirin, erectile dysfunction and diarrhoea drugs from China in what they claim is the largest recorded seizure of falsified medicines in the EU. Around 2.4m knock-off pharmaceutical products – concealed in two containers marked as containing Chinese tea – were seized at the port of Le Havre in France on February 27.
The haul included 601 boxes of medicines, including fake versions of Pfizer’s Viagra (sildenafil) and Eli Lilly’s Cialis (tadalafil), and was twice the size of the previous biggest seizure (once again in Le Havre) which netted 1.2m fake aspirin products in May 2013.
