The Hungarian Competition Authority (GVH) recommends that consumers be more vigilant, as they have recently received a number of complaints alleging objectionable commercial practices that exploit the pandemic.

In its statement sent to MTI on Thursday, the GVH reminded that already at the beginning of the pandemic, the attention of enterprises was drawn to the increased expectations for the development of responsible communication. Among other things, not to unduly attribute a protective, preventive or curative effect to their products. This is because potential buyers can be vulnerable, and in the course of their consumer decisions, the expected therapeutic effect can precede all other factors – even their financial means. (MTI)
