FCCPC seals supermarket over irregular pricing practices...
The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) says it carried out an enforcement operation at a supermarket in Guzape, Abuja, following consumer complaints about irregular pricing practices.
During the inspection, the commission said it identified several potential consumer protection violations, including discrepancies between shelf prices and checkout prices, products displayed without price tags, expired goods offered for sale, improper storage of perishable items and suspected counterfeit products, including rice, which were confiscated.
Following the findings, the supermarket was sealed pending further regulatory action.
The FCCPC said consumers are entitled to transparent pricing, safe products and fair treatment at all times, reminding businesses of their obligations under the law.
The commission added that it would take appropriate regulatory action after a full review of the findings.
Members of the public were encouraged to continue reporting suspicious, deceptive or unfair market practices.
