The public are being warned after vodka was seized on sale – which could cause blindness or death.
The fake brand was seized in Hull, East Yorkshire, and experts are worried it could contain industrial-strength alcohol which could lead to serious health issues.
The bottles have no customs duty stamp and the barcode does not link to a real product.
A tweet released by Hull City Council News said: “Warning: if you spot ‘Radanoff’ vodka for sale, do not buy or drink it.
“Radanoff is a fake brand seized recently in Hull.
“It could contain industrial alcohol which can cause blindness or death.
“If you see Radanoff, contact Trading Standards on: 01482 300 300.
“Tests are still to be carried out on the bottles seized – until those are complete there’s no way of knowing what’s in the bottles.
“However, we *do* know this product has no customs duty stamp and the barcode doesn’t link to a real product.”

Since you are here
Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.
Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.
Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
