Market full with fake products

It is indeed alarming to see that some unscrupulous traders are selling fake butter oil in the package of renowned companies and thus cheating  common people. Eid-markets of the country are flooded with fake cosmetics, medicine and food items. Due to the laxity of the authorities concerned the profit-mongers are having a field day in their illegal business. Fake products are harmful for human consumption but it seems there is no one to see the interest of the consumers.

A few days back I bought a shampoo of a reputed company but when I used it I found it spurious. The shopkeeper, however, changed it. Since then I buy foreign cosmetics only from reputed retailers as I believe they do not sell fake products. Storing, selling and producing fake products must be discouraged and perpetrators must face stiff punishment so that no one dares cheat people. Fake cosmetic is very harmful for our body; so before buying anything we must exercise highest caution. We hope the law enforcing agencies will look into the matter and save us from this menace.
