The Ministry of Economy and Commerce (MEC) has enforced a month’s administrative closure of a beauty salon at Bin Omran for displaying and selling expired beauty products.
The closure comes as part of the various inspection campaigns carried out by MEC in an effort to monitor the local market and commercial activity in the
country.
The closure of the outlet came in line with article No. 7 of law No.8 of 2008 on Consumer Protection. The law stipulates that suppliers of goods shall clearly display on product labels a clear description of goods and their ingredients and refrain from posting any misleading or false statements.
The administrative closure is published on the ministry’s website as well as two local dailies newspapers at the offending centre’s own expense in line with article No. 3 of the same law.
