NATIONAL: The Australian consumer watchdog has instituted legal proceedings against an online retailer for misrepresenting the origin of its products.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) alleges that from at least June 2010, Marksun claimed its range of ugg boots were made in Australia when they were in fact manufactured in China.
Marksun is an online seller of ugg boots and promotes its products through marksunboots.com.au, uggbootsonsale.com.au and uggbootsoutlet.com.au.
The matter has been filed in the Federal Court's fast track list and is set for a scheduling conference in Perth on February 2.
The ACCC is seeking declarations, injunctions, civil pecuniary penalties, costs and corrective notices.
Marksun: In hot water with ACCC.
