CE & energy label warning

In the selected case, "advertising with self-evident facts" and outdated energy labels posed two risks for warning letters.

Onlinehaendler-news.de reports on the warning issued to an online shop seller in two areas.

A warning was issued for "advertising with self-evident facts", in this case by advertising the CE marking, which is required by law for the underlying product groups (toys), which is why it is not permitted to advertise with it, as customers are suggested a special feature compared to other offers.

In addition, an outdated energy efficiency class label in the shop constituted incorrect labelling of the energy efficiency classes and thus an infringement of competition law, which can be cautioned against.
