Beauty Products

hair curlers: Checking the authenticity of a product is proving to be a lot harder nowadays as consumers cannot gauge the look and feel of a product as they did before when buying in a shop, according to The Independent. Police said generic stock images are also frequently used to deceive consumers into believing they are buying the real deal. Counterfeit beauty products in particular are becoming increasingly common and easily available on auction sites, online market places, rogue websites and social media. Fake electrical beauty goods, such as hair curlers, dryers and straighteners, are not subject to the same vigorous safety tests as genuine items, so the bogus products are often very dangerous. Police said laboratory tests have shown counterfeit perfume often contains poisonous chemicals including cyanide and even human urine. They could cause electrocution or overheat and catch fire, potentially burning hair, skin and scalp as well as putting homes and lives at risk. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
