Fernandes said that when he questioned the salon manager about the product used, the bottle was checked and the expiry date was mentioned as March 2024. However, he alleged that the manager refused to acknowledge that the product was expired and instead maintained that the date indicated was the manufacturing date.
Following the incident, Fernandes said he approached Goa Medical College (GMC) for medical attention.
He has urged the concerned authorities to investigate the matter and take appropriate action against the salon if any violations are found, stressing the need for strict monitoring to ensure customer safety.
