The Ghana Standards Authority (GSA) has shut down sections of the Ashaiman China Mall warehouse over suspected substandard products.
The affected products include mattresses and electrical appliances believed to have been manufactured with inferior materials.
The exercise formed part of the Authority’s second day of operations aimed at clamping down on companies producing and distributing substandard goods on the Ghanaian market.
Speaking during a media engagement after the operation on Tuesday, May 19, the Regional Manager of the Ghana Standards Authority, Clement Kubati, disclosed that some products, including electrical bulbs and mattresses, failed quality tests conducted by the Authority.
The Authority says the exercise forms part of efforts to protect consumers and ensure that products sold on the market meet approved safety and quality standards.
