The items were found at a storage facility in Barking on Tuesday, December 16, during an inspection carried out by Barking and Dagenham Council’s Trading Standards officers.
The haul included fake Oral-B toothbrush heads, Samsung batteries, Apple-branded products, and counterfeit SanDisk and Kingston SD cards— all posing significant safety risks to consumers.
Councillor Syed Ghani, cabinet member for enforcement and community safety, said: “Selling counterfeit goods is not a victimless crime.
“These products can be dangerous, and the trade in fakes often funds organised crime and exploitation.”
The inspection was supported by brand representatives from Procter & Gamble, whose intelligence and evidence formed the basis for enforcement action.
Further investigations are ongoing.
Cllr Ghani said the council will continue to work with brand owners and enforcement partners to protect consumers and keep unsafe goods out of the borough.
If residents suspect a shop is selling counterfeit goods, they should report it to Trading Standards via email: tradingstandards@lbbd.gov.uk.
