Watch GSA destroy counterfeit bulbs, extension boards seized from Chinese malls

The Ghana Standards Authority (GSA) has destroyed huge quantities of counterfeit light bulbs and extension boards that were confiscated during an enforcement operation carried out two months ago.

The exercise, which was captured in a video posted on X by askghmedia on Monday June 22, 2026, forms part of efforts by the Authority to rid the market of substandard electrical products and protect consumers from potentially dangerous goods.

The items were seized from selected Chinese malls during inspections aimed at ensuring compliance with national quality and safety standards.

The operation was targeted at products that failed to meet the required certification and regulatory requirements.

The GSA reaffirmed its commitment to intensified market surveillance and enforcement activities across the country, warning that individuals and businesses found selling unapproved products will face sanctions under the law.
