DTI Keeps Tight Watch on Substandard Christmas Lights, Other Products

Daet, Camarines Norte (18 November) -- The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) here has conducted an enforcement activity for the substandard products like Christmas lights.

Beth Parro, Senior Specialist of the Consumer Welfare Division, said that of the 11 inspected last week, there were no apprehensions selling substandard products like Christmas lights.

She said that genuine Christmas lights should have an ICC mark with a control number reflecting that of the ICC certificate of an establishment.

Parro explained that products with factory defects can be returned to the establishments and can be replaced.

Another enforcement activity will be conducted on December also to check said products being sold in the market.

Meanwhile the DTI also started this week the monitoring of noche buena products based on the price updates.
