The seized cosmetics and skin whitening lotions had been illegally imported from neighbouring countries and distributed in Cambodia without quality certificates.
Those products are suspicious of causing dangers or long-term impacts on consumers’ health.
This was the third crackdown on counterfeits in Cambodia in the year.
Earlier this month, authorized agencies seized a total of 68 tonnes of fake cosmetics, including shampoos and skin whitening creams, during two raids in Phnom Penh and southern Kandal province.-VNA
