Counterfeit Vs Original Products

Fake Perfume Could Spell Trouble For Users
By Rosli Abidin Yahya

Bandar Seri Begawan - Perfume and cosmetic users are advised to purchase only original brands as counterfeit items may bring about serious health consequences, experts say.

Counterfeit items may be cheap and cost only a fraction of the original price but in reality such goods can cause serious illnesses such as skin cancer, allergies and skin inflammation.
Experts say most counterfeit perfumes contain extra amounts of alcohol, which is dangerous to one's health.
Beauticians selling branded perfumes and cosmetics agree on the health consequences of such products.
"We test users for skin allergies on some of our original products as they may cause adverse reaction to some women.
"We would apply a certain amount to the skin - usually at the back of their hands - and leave it for some time. If the skin reacts adversely then we would recommend they look for an alternative," they said.
One woman said she would never consider purchasing counterfeit perfumes, given the possible consequences they could bring.
"I always look for original items regardless of how much they may cost. This is because I once read about an individual who used a counterfeit aftershave only to later suffer from pneumonitis or lung inflammation," she said.
Another beautician said she noticed some stores selling forged perfume and cosmetic products.
"I'm sure most people are wise enough to know that like counterfeit shelved food items, fake perfumes and cosmetics must be avoided.
"But unfortunately there are some women who purchase these items as they are unable to afford the original.
"In this instance, they would be better off not using any perfume or cosmetic at all, as it seriously could bring about serious health problems," she said.-- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
