“These people are manufacturing these products (mattresses), selling them cheap, which is affecting fair trade. Other companies that we are aware of, major companies, cannot compete again because the material that they are using is substandard and cheap. So they will price their products cheap, then you and I, my sister, your mother in the village, will go and buy them. When you sleep on them and wake up, you have back aches. These are the causes of it.” — Clement Kwolaga Kubati, Greater Accra Regional Manager of the Ghana Standards Authority (GSA), on the closure of a mattress manufacturing company at Afienya near Tema in the Greater Accra Region for producing with substandard materials.
