Dubai Government Took To Social Media To Respond To Rumours About A Leading Cleaning Brand
The Dubai government has responded to rumours about Dettol, a leading kitchen brand.
Dubai Municipality took to both Twitter and Instagram to inform consumers to be aware of information regarding harm caused by products which have not been approved by Montaji, a consumer goods watchdog.
Consumers should note
‘Components used in personal care products are different from those used for household purposes and cleaning even if they are from the same brand’…
It’s important to note that Dettol is a multi-purpose brand that functions as both cleaning and skin care products.
**Dettol is a brand name for various skin disinfections and cleaning products, also knows as chloroxylenol, also known as para-chloro-meta-xylenol.
The warning in full
“The Consumer Products Safety Section calls upon consumers to be aware about the information provided in the news published on one of the channels about the harm caused by the use of trademarked products on the skin of the consumer that are scientifically unapproved and are not in compliance with Montaji database.
The components used in personal care products are different from those used for household purposes and cleaning even if they are from the same brand. In addition to that, Dettol is a trade name for several products and not a chemical component with specific characteristics. It also confirms that all products are allowed to be traded after matching the results of the tests within the approved control procedures that guarantee the safety of the product and through the call systems with the competent authorities locally and internationally in this field. The Consumer Products Safety Section recommends the necessity of reporting and inquiring about the status of consumer products traded in Dubai through various means of communication and the need to read the usage instructions and other information on the product identification card.”
Consumers should inquire about products and be aware of product instructions available on packaging
