When Moscow banned Fairy liquid, and other Western cleaning products
The Russian consumer rights watchdog Rospotrebnadzor said it would take action against number of foreign washing products on Tuesday, including ones produced by Colgate-Palmolive, Procter & Gamble, and other multinational companies. In astatement, the watchdog said tests had uncovered toxic ingredients.
But the move was interpreted by many Russians not a defence of public health but rather the latest salvo in the heated trade war with the West that was touched off by Russia's annexation of Crimea. Earlier this month, Russia banned a variety of other Western goods including cheese and other foods. The country has itself been subjected to sanctions put in place by the EU and US.
