Romania will introduce new penalties for retailers that refuse to replace defective products, under a new law recently promulgated by president Nicu\u0219or Dan. The measure requires traders to provide a replacement within 30 days when customers report that a purchased item is faulty, whether the purchase was made in-store or online.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The retailers that fail to comply will face fines ranging from RON 5,000 to RON 25,000.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis change ensures the proper enforcement of the rights provided by law and strengthens consumer protection,\u201d president Dan said in a post on social media.<\/p>\n\n
The legislation amends the Government\u2019s Emergency Ordinance 140\/2021 on sales contracts and was initiated by a group of 23 Liberal Party lawmakers. It passed the Senate in June and the Chamber of Deputies in October, according to Digi24<\/a>.<\/p>\n irina.marica@romania-insider.com<\/p>\n (Photo source:\u00a0Olga Demina<\/a>\/Dreamstime.com<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Romania will introduce new penalties for retailers that refuse to replace defective products, under a new law recently promulgated by president Nicu\u0219or Dan.
