Richárd Tarnai wrote in a statement issued by the government office that in 37 of the 1,248 official inspections, an on-site inspection combined with sampling was carried out, in which the authority checked online stores selling products promising miracles, price information of commercial units, the correctness of opening hours, the customer’s book, warranty and guarantee information, and also checked the provision of alcohol to minors.
