Video of the incident showed police arresting some Chinese nationals at the factory.
Graphic Online reported that the arrests included a manager at the factory.
The company was said to have resumed production illegally after the factory was shut down in October 2025 over a lack of approval from the state regulatory authority.
Regional Manager of the Ghana Standards Authority, Clement Kubati, said his outfit was also trying to reduce the human and environmental impact on Ghanaians.
“That’s why I’m saying we’re going to make sure that we will continue with our surveillance. The information that we picked before we came here, we’re going to continue."
On May 18, the Ghana Standards Authority shut down some mattress manufacturing companies at Afienya for similar reasons.
