Dettol Disinfectant Recalled In South Africa For Being ‘unsafe’ by bizfirst: 9:55pm On Aug 02, 2013




South Africa’s safety watchdog said Dettol Disinfectant Liquid, scented with Lime and Lemongrass, was “unsafe for use by dettol consumers”.

The National Regulator for Compulsory Specifications (NRCS) said the product had undergone bacterial tests and failed to kill 99.9 per cent of germs.

Daniel Ramarumo, from NRCS, told The Daily Telegraph that the product recall began three months ago and so far 4,000 bottles had been returned.

Dettol has lost its value...no longer as it was few years back. All they sell now is the brand name. I almost lost my left foot to Dettol. It's very unsafe! If you dash me sef, i go throw way am.

Many products in Nigerian markets are fake but because of bribery and corruption they cannot be detected. Many people now package lie to sell.
