A number of products that have been recalled for not meeting international standards and because of defects are still found on supermarket shelves in Fiji.
Consumer Council of Fiji Chief Executive Premila Kumar made the revelation at a symposium on Consumerism and Market Economies this morning.
She also provided names of certain products which were still being sold in Fiji however it was recalled in other countries due to defects.
