The result of a review by the Division of Protection and Consumer Protection (Procon) from Londrina in supermarkets has brought cause for concern: all ten shops visited were sued because they have irregularities. According to the coordinator of Procon, Marco Cito, the review held from August 26 and September 17 in supermarkets all the major networks. The balance was released early on Wednesday (30).
The main irregularities are contacted by Procon: the marketing of products outside the expiration date, with damaged packaging and without the identification of prices. According to Cito, these irregularities were detected, in varying degrees of severity in all establishments inspected. "This kind of behavior puts consumers' lives at risk and should be curbed," he said.
The coordinator of Procon explained that because this is a first review, eight supermarkets were "invited" to sign a Memorandum of Adjustment of Conduct (TACs), committing itself to not submit the same deficiencies within a period of 12 months.
"The other two were fined. One, valued at R$ 200 thousand, not to make the case within the deadline set by Procon, and another, worth R$ 371.2 thousand, the excess of complaints. In both cases, the fines were imposed because the supermarkets did not meet the recommendations and also so that the review does not fall into disrepute, "he said. Fines fit feature.
Under Cito, the targeted inspections will continue, because "this is also one of the functions of the body. "We used to work on demand or on more specific dates. However, now we perform these inspections that will cover multiple segments, from the street trading by the banks, "he said.
For the president of Regional Association of Londrina Parana Supermarket (Apras), Valdeci dos Santos Galhardi, the result of the review as no surprise. "Just as you have employees who do not meet the requirements of the establishments, there are customers who derive the prices of goods, drop or open packages. So keep 100% without irregularities is difficult, "he said.
Galhardi said that to avoid irregularities, Apras constantly promotes lectures and orientation of the supermarket. "We always try our best to serve consumers. However, I confess that it is complicated, "he said.
