On March 15, a consultation and publicity activity was launched at Weiyuan Square to commemorate 3.15 World Consumers Rights Day.
Present at the activity were Huang Shengqiu, Deputy Secretary of Party leadership group of the municipal People’s Congress (equivalent to a provincial department leader) and Zhao Weiji, deputy mayor of the municipality.
The theme of this year’s World Consumers Rights Day is “Sharing Governance and Enjoying Consumption”. On the same day, several executive units, well-known enterprises, banks and other executive member units of the consumer council attended the activity, with 32 booths set to teach people how to protect their rights as consumers and how to identify counterfeit money and fake products
Mr. Huang Shengqiu and Mr. Zhao Youwei went to all the booths, talking with booth staff to learn more knowledge about counterfeit cigarettes, adulterated or misbranded foods and cooking oils. At the booth owned by the municipal cable television, Huang Shengqiu demanded that commercial advertisement should be normalized so that false advertising can be avoided and consumers’ rights can be ensured. After listening to a complaint through 12315 hotline, Mr. Zhao Youji urged the departments concerned to take action as soon as possible to deal with the problem. He said that honesty is the vital force for an enterprise, so all the producers and dealers should do their business honestly to ensure the quality of merchandise. On the other hand, he said, the consumers should take precautions for the goods they are purchasing to safeguard their interests and the industrial and commercial administration departments should increase clampdown on fake and inferior products to maintain a fair market order.
The fake and inferior products seized during the activity, altogether 12,252 pieces grouped into 92 categories with a market value of 900 thousand yuan, were destroyed at the waste disposal station.
