A SHOPKEEPER has been fined after selling fakes of a well-known shampoo and unsafe iPhone chargers.
Trading standards officers found 150 bottles of fake Sunsilk shampoo and the chargers at Pennywise Discount Store in Radford in July.
Sunsilk manufacturer Unilever said the bottles were fake and had ingredients which were "not known".
The iPhone chargers failed tests and were condemned as unsafe after not making the grade for insulation and electric shock protection.
Shop owner Nadeem Ahmed, 43, of Burford Road, Hyson Green, appeared at Nottingham Magistrates' Court on March 18. He admitted contravening the Trade Marks Act and the Consumer Protection Act.
He was ordered to pay fines and costs totalling £1,450.50.
City council spokesman Councillor Alex Norris said: "We urge people to make sure they buy from reputable traders and report products they suspect could be fake."
Anyone with information about fake goods should call the Citizens' Advice Consumer Service on 08454 040506.
