A table water company, Fabsi Table Water, located in the Kubwa area of the Federal Capital Territory has been sealed by the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC).
The sealing of the water company followed a consumer complaint alleging the consumption of expired sachet water containing microbes.
According to FCCPC in a post on X, an investigation by the commission revealed significant violations of consumer protection regulations by the table water company.
The commission noted that the company failed to provide crucial information – production dates, expiration dates, and batch numbers – on their products.
It added that Fabsi Table lacked the essential compliance records required to ensure the safety and quality of its products.
”Fabsi Table Water claimed a two-month shelf life for its products, yet the absence of production and expiration dates renders this claim unverifiable.
”The company attributed the omission of this critical information to printing challenges, a claim the FCCPC deems unacceptable.
”Accurate and complete product labelling is a fundamental requirement under applicable regulations,” the Commission said on X.
FCCPC further stated that it had temporarily suspended operations at the company’s production facility and summoned their management for further investigation into the allegations.
