Fake electricals go up in smoke

More than 33,000 electrical appliances worth about 4.68 million baht were seized from a warehouse in Samut Sakhon after authorities found products carrying fake Thai Industrial Standards Institute (TISI) certification, Industry Minister Varawut Silpa-archa said on Sunday.

The inspection in Krathum Baen district followed a complaint from a licensed importer that its TISI permit had been misused to bring regulated goods into the country for sale online.

A total of 33,383 items — including electric cooking pots, stoves, extension cords, power strips, adapters and hair dryers — were confiscated.
