"Plus 1 record"
"This is the most enthusiastic admissions propaganda"
Law students are making a double move again!
Two cleansers
The ingredients, efficacy, and content are basically the same
But there is a price difference of 67 yuan?
The price of the product for female consumers
Much higher than the "pink tax" phenomenon of men's models
aroused the East China University of Political Science and Law
and the attention of 5 students from Shandong University
They teamed up to sue L'Oréal
recently
The development of this incident is a cause for concern

Facial cleanser is divided into men and women, and the price difference is 67 yuan?
It was reported on January 14 last year
Zhang in the online store for 149 yuan
I purchased the women's only one
"L'Oréal Rejuvenating Facial Cleanser"
After payment
She saw it on the store recommendation page
"L'Oréal Men's Water Moisturizing Amino Acid Facial Cleanser"
The price is 82 yuan, and the net content is 180 ml
The difference in price per 100ml is as high as 73.6 yuan
Both facial cleansers are the main ones
Amino acids are mild and moisturizing
But the price is doubled

"I thought it was
Men's and women's facial cleansers contain different ingredients
Resulting in price discrepancies
After consulting customer service and asking for the ingredient list of the two products
However, I found that the ingredients of the two products are almost the same as the main efficacy."
The classmates also found that they compared
"In terms of packaging costs alone
There shouldn't be too much of a spread, either."
And "women's cleansing product details page promotion."
But there's more to it than that."

Gather relevant information online
Learn about the concept of the "Pink Tax".
Zhang said
Female consumers are in some areas of consumption
Being at a disadvantage is an undeniable fact
Whether it's skincare, beauty or electronics
Similar items are labeled "for women only".
Prices are always on the high side
To this end, she and 5 other classmates
thinks L'Oréal
This behavior is suspected of price discrimination
There is no legal protection for male and female consumers
The right to fair dealing
So he filed a lawsuit in court
Ask for a full refund
The defendant company refunded the full amount
Letter of Undertaking for Law Student Refusal of Visa
After the case is filed
The company said it was willing to give a full refund
However, students are required to sign a letter of commitment
The promise will not be published on social networking platforms
or to third parties, including the media, etc
All information and matters related to this case
Consider part of the commitment letter
It is not conducive to subsequent rights protection
The classmates rejected the request
recently
The students withdrew the lawsuit under the mediation of the court
L'Oréal refunded the cost of the cleanser
For more consumers
Recognize the price discrimination that exists in the "Pink Tax".
Students on multiple social platforms
The topic of "why is pink so much more expensive" was initiated
Explaining the "Pink Tax"
and give netizens relevant rights protection suggestions
Zhang said
"Most people think 'it always has been' is common sense
and not to question the rationality of the existence of the 'pink tax'
We want to do this by fighting against gender-based price discrimination
Stimulate consumer awareness of rights protection
Resist the 'Pink Tax'"
Law students have sued on several occasions over consumer rights issues
Back in 2019
Students from East China University of Political Science and Law sued
The case of Shanghai Disney's ban on eating and drinking has sparked heated discussions
Finally, the defendant Shanghai International Theme Park Co., Ltd
Compensation to the plaintiff of RMB 50 (paid in court)
In addition, Shanghai Disneyland has revised the relevant admission rules
furthermore
There have been multiple lawsuits by law students
Cases involving infringement of consumer rights and interests
Rush to the hot search
Recently
College student teams
There are many cases of rights protection
They "dare to defend their rights" with solid professional knowledge
Facilitate the resolution of a number of real cases
Legal knowledge has been popularized throughout society
Truly put what you have learned into practice
