Reducing the quantity without raising the price is not easy to attract consumers' attention and disgust.
Bagged milk changed from 20 bags to 18 bags, yogurt changed from 125g to 100g, bottled drinks decreased from 600ml to 500ml, and potato chips changed from 50g to 50g ... Many consumers reported that although the prices and packaging styles of many foods such as beverages, dairy products, biscuits and potato chips have not changed recently, their weights have not changed. Lawyers pointed out that there is no legal basis for the punishment of this disguised price increase behavior at present, but the "slimming" behavior will damage the moral evaluation of enterprises, and it is suggested that the state legislate on this behavior.
This slimming is actually an invisible price increase. "Lawyer Qiu, head of the lawyers group of China Consumers Association, believes that under the current situation of rising raw materials and oil prices, it is understandable for manufacturers to raise prices independently, but consumers must be clearly informed. The invisible price increase without price reduction actually violates consumers' right to know and choose.
Lawyer Qiu believes that consumers are used to the original packaging and size of some products, and they choose through inertial thinking. Although the manufacturer has clearly stated the contents on the outer packaging, it is not enough to attract the attention of consumers because of the same packaging style.
This price increase behavior of reducing quantity without reducing price is not illegal in relevant laws and regulations of our country, and there is no legal basis for punishment. But this way of price increase will reduce the social moral evaluation of enterprises.
Lawyer Qiu suggested that the state should consider making it clear in legislation that the use of packaging to raise prices is a manifestation of price violation, requiring manufacturers to make differences in the packaging of goods at reduced prices and inform consumers in a striking way.
