The Bangladesh Standards and Testing Institution (BSTI) conducted a mobile court operation at Bashundhara City Shopping Mall in Dhaka, fining two businesses a total of Tk 600,000 for selling substandard baby food and cosmetics. The operation, led by BSTI Executive Magistrate Sabekun Nahar, found that Almas Super Shop was selling baby food items such as chocolate, flavored drinks, and powdered milk without BSTI testing or clearance, resulting in a Tk 500,000 fine. Online-based Sofia’s Beauty House was fined Tk 100,000 for selling low-quality cosmetics.
According to a BSTI press release, the drive aimed to ensure safe and quality products and protect consumer health. BSTI officials Md. Safayet Hossain and Ahsan Habib Khan assisted in the operation.
