The House of Representatives has urged relevant government agencies to ensure that chemicals banned in America and Europe were not imported into the country.
The call was sequel to the adoption of a motion moved by Mayowa Akinfolarin (Ondo-PDP) at the plenary on Thursday.
He urged NAFDAC, Nigeria Custom Service (NCS) and the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) to be on red alert to prevent the importation of the dangerous chemicals.
The lawmaker said the United States Food and Drug Administration in a report on September 2, 2016, banned 19 active ingredients in antibacterial soaps over concerns about their safety.
Mr. Akinfolarin said chemicals such as triclosan and triclocarban which are used to produce antibacterial soap may do more harm than good when used over a long period.
