Separately, three retailers entered into legally binding undertakings with the regulator following investigations into sales pricing practices during the 2023 and 2024 winter sales period.
Rath-Wood Home and Garden World Ltd, trading as Rathwood, agreed to refund certain consumers. Ofwal Ltd, trading as Easons.com, and Shop Direct Ireland Ltd, trading as Very, also agreed to comply with sales pricing legislation following investigations into how price reductions were presented on their websites.
The CCPC also issued compliance notices to two retailers in relation to consumer rights information on their websites.
Phoenix Mobile and Communications Ltd, trading as Munster Tech Centre, received two compliance notices for information that could mislead consumers about their statutory cancellation rights. Hot Fox Ltd, trading as CocoBoutique, was issued one compliance notice for similar issues.
A compliance notice requires a trader to stop a prohibited practice and comply with the law by a specified date. Failure to do so can lead to prosecution.
“Consumers have very strong rights and the CCPC is here to uphold them,” said Brian McHugh, CCPC chairperson.
“These latest enforcement updates arise from CCPC inspections of supermarkets, petrol stations and other retailers, as well as investigations opened on the back of consumer complaints to our helpline.
“In addition to our regular in-store and online inspections and ongoing investigations, CCPC officers are closely monitoring trader compliance with the legally binding commitments published today. Failure to adhere to the terms of these commitments will result in enforcement action.”
