ANPC will carry out checks in November to verify the compliance of Black Friday offers, highlighting issues related to reference prices and the transparency of discounts.

Black Friday campaigns annually attract the attention of consumers and authorities, and the National Authority for Consumer Protection (ANPC) intensifies inspections during this period. An analysis conducted by specialists at Filip&Company revealed that ANPC checks uncover recurring patterns of non-compliance. The most common issues identified include the discrepancy between the advertised reference price and reality, the way discounts are communicated, and the lack of transparency of essential information for consumers. These aspects highlight the importance of consumer protection in the face of commercial offers during the Black Friday period.
