The Standard Organisations of Nigeria (SON) has in Anambra State, impounded 1,223 cartons of “EmmaScale” paint for non-compliance to quality standards.

It also sealed the EmmaScale Nigeria Ltd warehouse at Modebe Street and its Operational Office in the Building Materials Market, Bridge Head, Onitsha.

Viginus Omeje, SON ifficial, said the seized product was neither registered nor presented for quality assessment.

Omeje also stated that the company also faked SON’s registration logo which was assigned to a similar product, thus misleading the public.

He said the impounded products would be kept at the Enugu office for further investigation, adding that the firm’s Managing Director, still at large, will face the consequences of counterfeiting the government’s seal.
