MANILA, Philippines Ω– The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) on Tuesday said it had seized almost half a million pesos worth of uncertified household appliances, lighting devices, and ceramic products from retailers in Balintawak, Quezon City, as part of its crackdown against unregulated products in the market.

The DTI said it seized 2,152 units of the assorted consumer products worth P482,212. These include sanitary wares, electric kettles, electric grills, electric fans, washing machines, self-ballasted LED (light-emitting diode) lamps, incandescent lamps and ceramic tiles.

“The uncertified household appliances, lighting devices and ceramic products that we sealed … surely translate to risks and hazards the moment they reach the homes of Filipino families,” Trade Undersecretary Ruth Castelo said in a statement.
