Moreover, the statement urged consumers to obtain a receipt for all products purchased in order to preserve their rights, adding that customers are encouraged to dial 135 in case of any infractions. The Ministry of Commerce and Industry monitors all commercial and economic activities in the country, in efforts to protect consumers from widespread deceit in the marketplace. — KUNA
