EU Cracks Down On Misleading Electronics Websites

0 views

More than half of European websites selling consumer electronic goods were found to be misleading online shoppers, according to an investigation by the EU Consumer watchdog.

The investigation covered 369 websites selling six of the most popular electronics goods to consumers in the EU, including digital cameras, mobile phones, personal music players and game consoles.

The EU says authorities will contact the websites and ask them to correct the problems identified. If a website does not comply the EU said it would take legal action leading to fines or the closing of such sites.
