Between November 17-21, the commissioners of the National Authority for Consumer Protection (ANPC) conducted inspections at the national level, checking approximately 1,700 economic operators.

Additionally, products worth over 300,000 lei were permanently removed from sale, and the activity of five economic operators was temporarily suspended.

The main irregularities found include the lack of correct information for consumers, especially regarding toys and festive decorations, where labels were not translated into Romanian or essential information was missing.
