Authorities raided a warehouse on TA05 street in District 12, discovering several individuals transferring chemicals of unknown origin into bottles and plastic containers labeled with Thai brands like O.K, D.N, and F.L.
More than 500 containers of toilet cleaner, laundry detergent, and fabric softener were seized, along with thousands of bottles, labels, plastic caps, branded cartons, and six tanks containing mixed solutions.
The investigation revealed that since July, Hung had been purchasing chemicals and materials, then hiring Nguyen Van Thua, 24, Vo Anh Huy, 25, Huynh Ngoc Sang, 26, and Hoang Duc Anh, 21, to mix, package, and sell the counterfeit products online at 50% below the genuine product price, distributing them through freight forwarding services.

Laboratory tests confirmed that none of the seized products were manufactured by the legitimate companies. Authorities advise consumers to purchase cleaning products from reputable stores to avoid counterfeits and to report any suspected violations promptly.
