The Lagos State Government is set to implement a ban on the sale of plastic bottled drinks exposed to sunlight.

This was disclosed by the General Manager, Consumer Protection Agency, Mr Afolabi Solebo.

“Plastic bottled drinks exposed to continuous sunlight are dangerous to health and cancerous. Therefore, it will be part of our public enlightenment between now and the end of the year. He said

“So that by 2023, we will not only confiscate such drinks but we will prosecute people that are displaying those products under sunlight.

“We also want to have a stakeholders’ meeting with manufacturers of those bottled drinks to get alternatives for dummy products for distributors to display.

“The essence of displaying those products in the sunlight is to attract consumers to buy. So if you can put dummies in the sun it has no effect since dummies look like the real thing,” Solebo said.

Solebo noted that the decision was taken because plastic bottled drinks exposed to continuous sunlight are dangerous to health and very cancerous.

He also revealed that there are plans to carry out a public enlightenment campaign.

While stating that consumers should always ensure they get value for their money on all products and services rendered to them, he added that consumables that kill bit-by-bit should be avoided.

“So the consumers do have responsibilities much as they have a right to safety, to be informed, right to clarity and quality of products, the right to choose and the right to be heard.

“Also, they have the right to consumer education and especially the right to seek redress in court or in our office and when we cannot resolve the matter amicably, we resort to litigation.

He further stated that the agency has been able to recover over N25m from the Ikeja Distribution Company as credit adjustment granted to consumers since he assumed office.

“As at September 2020, we recovered N28.46m from the IKEDC through credit adjustment for consumers through the agency and till date another N7.02m. We have also been able to recover from online transactions, POS using ATMs. We were able to get transactions reversals to the tune of N10.41m.’’
