READ | DTI warns the public against uncertified FLAVA products
The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) warns consumers against FLAVA, also marketed as XFLAVA, products being heavily promoted online, clarifying that these items are smuggled, uncertified and unauthorized for sale or distribution.
The DTI urges consumers to remain vigilant and avoid purchasing or using FLAVA or XFLAVA products, as they have not undergone Philippine Standard (PS) certification in accordance with applicable technical regulations and product standards. Uncertified products may contain harmful substances, including potentially toxic levels of chemicals such as formaldehyde, which may pose risks to consumer health and safety. Consumers are therefore advised to exercise caution and purchase only products that comply with Philippine laws and regulations.
The sale, distribution and promotion of uncertified vaporized ni****ne and non-ni****ne products may constitute violations of the Republic Act No. 11900, or Vaporized Ni****ne and Non-Ni****ne Products Regulation Act, and its implementing rules and regulations.
The public is encouraged to report any information regarding the sale, distribution, promotion or availability of FLAVA products through email at [email protected] or [email protected].
