Two off-licences have been warned after they were caught selling vodka laced with chloroform and cleaning fluid.
Trading standards officers found bottles of ‘Drop’ and ‘Red Star Russian’ vodka on sale at Zaf’s Foodstore and Broadoak Mini-Market, both on Broadoak Road in Ashton-Under-Lyne.
Experts from the Food Standards Agency warned that the vodka could cause serious health problems including dizziness, breathing difficulties and even blindness.
The Drop vodka contained chloroform and cleaning fluid and the Red Star Russian vodka contained 19 times the permissible level of methanol.
Management from both shops appeared before the liquor licensing speakers’ panel earlier this month. The panel was told that one bottle of vodka found at Zaf’s had been left by a man offering cheap vodka.
