With the new year's day atmosphere getting stronger and stronger, all kinds of New Year goods, gifts, catering, tourism, etc. will usher in the peak of consumption in the year. In order to guide consumers to consume safely and rationally, and effectively avoid consumption risks and consumer disputes, the Zibo Municipal Consumer Protection Commission issued a New Year's Day consumption warning.
In order to promote holiday consumption, a variety of discount promotions of merchants emerge in an endless stream, consumers when purchasing New Year goods, do not be carried away by low prices, blind consumption. When participating in promotional discounts, learn more about the rules of the campaign, paying special attention to the merchant's promotional information, time frame and restrictions. After purchasing goods or services, take the initiative to obtain ticket certificates and properly keep them, and if problems such as quality and service are found, they can be handled through consultation with merchants, and if the consultation fails, they should call the local consumer complaint and report hotline in time to protect their legitimate rights and interests in accordance with the law.
In order to strengthen epidemic prevention and control and protect their own health, consumers should wear masks and disposable gloves when purchasing imported cold chain food. It is necessary to pay attention to the content of food labels such as production date, shelf life, storage method, etc., check whether the food is within the shelf life, do not purchase imported cold chain food from unknown sources and cannot provide "three proofs and one report", and cautiously purchase imported cold chain food through sea shopping or purchasing agents. After shopping, the hands should be washed and disinfected in time, and before washing hands, the hands should not touch the mouth, nose, eyes and other parts. When eating cold chain food, it is necessary to cook it thoroughly, avoid eating it directly raw and half-raw, and ensure food safety. If you have fever, cough, diarrhea, fatigue and other uncomfortable symptoms after eating, you should go to the nearest medical institution in time for fever diagnosis and treatment.
With the boom in holiday sales, the volume of express logistics business has also increased, and many scammers have taken advantage of the habit of consumers not inspecting goods in person, sending empty packages or inferior goods to consumers, and then using the express delivery business to defraud consumers. Therefore, the Zibo Municipal Consumer Protection Commission suggests that when consumers receive logistics packages, they must verify whether they are goods purchased online, and do not accept express deliveries from unknown sources, especially for packages that need to be paid, the recipient or the collector is best to open the package in person to prevent being deceived.
For consumers who want to take advantage of the Spring Festival holiday to travel, the preliminary preparation work has begun. Determine the location, choose a travel agent... The Zibo Municipal Consumer Protection Commission especially reminds us to choose carefully and be vigilant against the trap of low-cost tourism. Many online travel websites launch activities such as "spikes" and "special prices", in the face of low-price temptation, first ask about the restrictions on use, see clearly that the contract has included content and self-care items, can not take the price as the only choice criterion, and must not covet cheap participation in low-cost tour groups. Beware of online fraud, do not believe in small street tourism advertisements and consumption traps such as "tourist VIP coupons" and "tourism coupons", consciously resist "zero negative tour fees" and "unreasonable low prices", enhance the awareness of risk prevention, and avoid being deceived by greed for cheap.
Zibo Municipal Consumer Protection Commission reminds consumers that consumers should remember to obtain consumption vouchers after consumption, and properly preserve them, and when legitimate rights and interests are damaged or illegal business behavior is found, please call "12345" and the local consumer rights protection organization complaint and reporting telephone in time.
