Officials of the GSA arrested Chinese managers of a mattress manufacturing company for allegedly resuming operations illegally after the factory was previously shut down in October 2025.
The manufacturing company was closed down when they realised that the company, Jin Yuan Jia, had not obtained the needed regulatory approval to operate.
According to the GSA, the shutdown followed laboratory tests conducted on materials and finished products at multiple production sites.
The tests reportedly found that the mattresses and related items did not meet approved specifications and quality standards.
Man returns mattress to China Mall
After hearing the news of the substandard production, a Ghanaian man who had bought a mattress at a China Mall returned the product for his money.
Narrating the incident, a friend who accompanied the man said the managers of the mall initially did not want to refund his money, asking him to accept an exchange.
However, the customer refused to accept a new mattress and insisted on a refund, with the managers eventually agreeing to pay him back after a back-and-forth.
The customer gave them the mattress back and took his money after showing them the receipt for GH₵200 note, which the narrator said was the correct amount.
