Coinciding with the start of the school year, the Guardia di Finanza of the Provincial Command of Salerno has intensified checks at commercial establishments in the province: in the crosshairs, the sale of unsafe products and potentially dangerous for the health of buyers.
Precisely within the scope of the aforementioned interventions, the Guardia di Finanza of Sala Consilina, after targeted inspections, identified a commercial establishment, in Vallo di Diano, which had set up a large part of the shop with multiple stationery items, such as notebooks, post-its and reams of paper, ready for sale.
From a more careful examination of the goods, numerous products were found not to comply with the provisions of the Consumer Code, as they lacked the minimum identifying information, such as data relating to the manufacturer/importer, the country of origin, the nature of the materials used for their production, which by law must be present on the packaging or on the respective labels, in a visible, legible manner and in Italian.
The use of such wording, in fact, guarantees the final consumer awareness of the quality of the product he is about to purchase and, above all, its use in complete safety.
The irregular goods were subjected to administrative seizure and the owner of the business, reported to the competent Chamber of Commerce, now risks a fine ranging from a minimum of 516 to a maximum of over 25 thousand euros.
