Power banks: Be careful when shopping, says official
Ministry man says lack of manpower hampers checks on products and traders, urges everyone to help. Consumers must exercise caution when purchasing products especially when deals seem too good to be true, says Alias Ahmad, secretary-general of the domestic trade and consumerism ministry. Alias said the ministry was investigating a complaint about mobile phone battery power banks found to be filled with sand. The ministry constantly checked on traders and the products they sold, but lacked sufficient manpower, he said.
However, consumers must also exercise caution by checking on a brand’s reputation and the warranty on a product before making a purchase and not be drawn too easily by a product’s cheap price.
