Parafinn, sold in small quantities to poor households, is transferred to unmarked milk or juice containers, and is often mistaken for a cool drink by thirsty kids. "The absence of safe packaging legislation and enforcement means that paraffin is distributed in indistinct and unlabelled containers," says spokesperson. Talk about a no-brainer! Illiustrates the wide spectrum that "global packaging" encompasses.
