“The affected products were sold at Clicks stores in South Africa and Clicks Online and were also distributed to Lesotho. Consumers with the affected products are urged not to consume the products and immediately return those to any Clicks store for a full refund or replacement, with or without any proof of purchase,” said the NCC.
The NCC is monitoring this recall, and other recalls communicated recently, to ensure full compliance with the Consumer Protection Act.
The NCC’s acting commissioner, Hardin Ratshisusu, said: “As we mark World Consumer Rights Day today [Sunday] with the global theme Safe Products. Confident Consumers, we remind suppliers of their obligation to provide goods of good quality, free of defects, usable and durable. Where goods fail to meet the required standards, those goods must be removed from the shelves to minimise potential harm.”
