Amman, July 26 (Petra) - The Jordan Standards and Metrology Organization (JSMO) busted an unlicensed warehouse on Sunday in the northern region illegally mixing and packaging counterfeit cleaning products.
JSMO launched their operation following a complaint from the Royal Marine Conservation Society of Jordan (JREDS). Inspectors discovered an illicit facility mixing chemicals and filling second-hand containers labeled with trademarked brand names.
Authorities seized 2,359 containers of fake detergents, shampoos, and hair gels that violated national technical standards. Officials confiscated two electric mixers, two digital scales, a packaging machine, 35 sacks of empty bottles, 40 bundles of cardboard boxes, and rolls of counterfeit brand labels.
JSMO is investigating the suspect’s claims that portions of the inventory were purchased from independent sales representatives. Samples have been sent to accredited laboratories for testing as legal proceedings move forward.
Pledging its commitment to consumer protection, intellectual property rights, and fair market competition, JSMO urged Jordanians to report suspicious or non-compliant products via phone or WhatsApp at (06) 530-1243, the national "At Your Service" (Bekhedmatkom) e-government platform, or via the "Sanad" mobile app.
