Muscat – The CPA stated that it had confiscated the expired products from a number of paint and building supply stores in Baushar, as part of its initiatives to curb the sale of illegal, non-compliant, and expired items that have a detrimental effect on people’s health.

The CPA, represented by the Market Regulation and Control Department, conducted inspection campaigns on paint and building supply outlets that led to the seizure. Legal action has been taken against the offending retailers.

CPA calls on all traders to abide by the Consumer Protection Law No 66/2014, and stresses that it will spare no effort in following up and monitoring the markets, controlling everything that would harm the health and safety of consumers.
It urges individuals to report violations through its various communication channels.
