直播: 海關版權及商標調查科不良營商手法調查第一組高級調查主任李宗霖講述案情。
香港海關今日拘捕兩名藥店店員,他們涉嫌應用虛假商品說明銷售影射藥物,及使用誤導性遺漏的不良營商手法銷售中藥材,違反《商品說明條例》(《條例》)。
海關人員今日下午喬裝成顧客在尖沙咀一間藥店進行試購行動,一名男店員涉嫌於售賣一款藥物期間作出虛假聲稱,指該藥物為某一品牌的產品,但試購人員發現該藥物並非其指明的品牌。
另外,同一名男店員亦涉嫌於推銷三款中藥材期間,以不適時的方式提供該些中藥材的總價,當另一名男店員把有關藥材磨粉後,他們才表示中藥材的真正價格,並與預期價格相差接近八倍。海關人員隨即拘捕兩名分別四十九歲和三十二歲的男店員。案件仍在調查中,兩名被捕男子現正保釋候查。
海關提醒商戶遵守《條例》的規定,而消費者亦應光顧信譽良好的商戶及留意商品的計價單位,並要求更詳細資料,包括所選商品的總價格,再作交易決定。根據《條例》,任何人在營商或業務過程中將虛假商品說明應用於任何貨品,即屬違法。而任何商戶如在交易過程中,遺漏或隱藏重要資料,或以不明確、難以理解、含糊或不適時的方式提供重要資料,因而導致或相當可能導致一般消費者作出某項交易決定,即屬違法。兩者一經定罪,最高可被判罰款五十萬元及監禁五年。 Hong Kong Customs today (September 5) arrested two salesmen of a medicine shop suspected to have applied a false trade description in the course of selling a proprietary medicine, and engaged in unfair trade practices involving a misleading omission in the course of selling Chinese medicines, in contravention of the Trade Descriptions Ordinance (TDO).
A Customs officer this afternoon, disguised as customer, conducted a test-buy operation at a medicine shop in Tsim Sha Tsui. A salesman was suspected of making a false claim in the course of selling a medicine by saying that it was a particular brand of medicine. However, the officer later found that the medicine was not the brand specified by the salesman.
Separately, the same salesman, during the course of selling three types of Chinese medicines, was also suspected of providing untimely material information about the total price of the Chinese medicines. The total price of the medicines was revealed only after they were ground by another salesman, and that the price was almost eight times higher than what was expected. Customs officers subsequently arrested the two salesmen, aged 49 and 32 respectively.
An investigation is ongoing and the two arrested men have been released on bail pending further investigation.
