Inspectors of the Consumer Protection Agency found a series of violations in drugstores in Chisinau and in other settlements of the country, including the sale of products without indicating the price per unit, use of illegal measuring means and of thermometers that haven’t been checked metrologically for determining the temperature in refrigerators where drugs were kept.
One drugstore sold shampoo, cream for children, liquid soap and chewing gum with the use-by date expired.
When checking a set of para-pharmaceutical products on sale, the inspectors determined that these didn’t have instructions and the contraindications in the official language, production date and period of validity were absent. A company used a hydrometer with the expired metrological stamp and without a metrological examination certificate. Some drugstores also sold thermometers without an authorization allowing selling them.
The inspectors issued prescriptions for removing the identified irregularities and banned the sale of particular products on a temporary basis.
