The Anti-Counterfeit Authority has returned goods worth Sh50 million that had been seized from the China Square.
The move was taken after it was established that the goods were not counterfeits.
According to the authority, the complainant, Smithmo Company Ltd, withdrew the complaint after confirming that the ‘Finder’ branded goods were sourced from the same manufacturer and international brand owner.
“We would like to inform the public that the complainant in a letter dated February 27, wrote to ACA and requested to withdraw the complaint against China Square.
“In light of this new information, ACA conducted a thorough investigation and verified the source of the goods and we can confirm that they are authentic Finder Tools. As such, we have released the goods to the rightful owner,” ACA said.
