Recalled Domestos a grey import

Commenting on the recall of Domestos Extended Germ-Killer by the National Regulator for Compulsory Specifications (NRCS) on Tuesday, 23 July 2013, Unilever has announced that this specific product is a grey imported product, manufactured in the UK.

According to South African regulations, disinfectant products need to be registered with the NRCS before they can be sold on shelf, however in this case a local retailer imported the product directly from the UK and hence the recall of the product.

There is no consumer safety issue with this product; the only issue is that all such products should be registered with the relevant local authorities before they are sold locally.

In South Africa, Unilever manufactures and markets Domestos Thick Bleach. This local product is registered with the NRCS and is compliant with South African regulations.

Unilever remains committed to providing branded products and services that consistently offer value in terms of price and quality and which are safe for their intended use.
