The National Regulator for Compulsory Specifications (NRCS) has announced the recall of the Domestos Extended Germ Kill. This specific product is a 'grey' imported product manufactured in the United Kingdom.
According to South African regulations, disinfectant products need to be registered with the NRCS before they can be sold on shelf, however in this case a local retailer imported the product directly from the UK and hence the recall of the product.
In South Africa, Unilever manufactures and markets Domestos Thick Bleach.This local product is registered with the NRCS and is compliant with South African Regulations. There is no consumer safety issue with this product, the only issue is that all such products should be registered with the relevant local authorities before they are sold locally.
Unilever remains committed to providing branded products and services which consistently offer value in terms of price and quality, and which are safe for their intended use.
