According to many consumers informed Carrefour and some other supermarkets' commercial fraud a few days ago, china's National Development and Reform Committee declared that the departments in charge will take actions to punish violators.

Let's see how did Wal-Mart and Carrefour deceive consumers. Relevant heads of National Development and Reform Committee introduced that Carrefour and Wal-Mart in some regions of china dummy cost price, fiction depreciates reasons, false discount, default price promise and many other methods.

National Development and Reform Committee announced a part of typical case. Carrefour's Xinmin shop in Changchun city sold septwolves cotton underwear's price tag showed cost price is 169 yuan and it was on sale for 50 yuan. But it has been find out that the cost price was 119 yuan in fact.

The Wal-Mart in Shenyang city sold dumpling flour for 21 yuan while its cost price in fact is 24 yuan but marked 31 in Wal-Mart. The Nescafe sold in Nanning's Wal-Mart also showed a higher cost price than it is in fact.


National Development and Reform Committee pointed out that these behaviours violated the fourteenth article in the Price Law: Proprietors should not use false or misleading price means to inveigle consumers to trade with them. Besides, according to some relevant regulations, Wal-Mart and Carrefour's behaviours has seriously violated the consumer rights and interests.

National Development and Reform Committee required all supermarkets' principals in china collate the commodities sold in their supermarkets seriously so as to avoid the inconformity between price tags and settlement price. If find problems, supermarkets' principals should put right without delay and return back consumers' overpaid.

Yesterday, Carrefour apologized to the public for their faults. They showed that it is because of the imperfection of price system lead to the inconvenient and displeasure of consumers. They said they are upgrading their system.
