Missing product information entails a high risk of legal admonitions

A common mistake made by online dealers is to omit legally required notices or product information about the products on offer. This may lead to admonitions by competitors or associations.

A common mistake made by online dealers is to omit legally required notices or product information about the products on offer. This may lead to admonitions by competitors or associations.

This is what happened at the end of last year due to the lacking warning label for a disinfectant and a “forgotten” expiration date on an anti-mould product.

Numerous legal notices are to be made visible at the point of sale for the product. For products sold online, it is therefore necessary to check whether corresponding information must also be provided by the sales page of the store in question. Unfortunately, some legislations are not clear in this regard.

Operators of online stores should inform themselves at an early stage about the necessary notes and information to be provided about their products.

trade-e-bility keeps you up to date on product-specific information obligations and checks your online store for correct product information.
