The Ghana Standards Authority (GSA) has sealed off sections of the Ashaiman China Mall warehouse in Accra, Ghana, following the discovery of products, including mattresses and electrical appliances, suspected of being manufactured with substandard materials. The operation, which took place on Tuesday, May 19th, is part of a wider GSA initiative to rid the Ghanaian market of inferior goods and protect consumers.
