Case Study|Sale of imported beer with irregular production date, the court rejected the judgment of ten times compensation in the first instance and sentenced the merchant to return the goods for a refund
Fact: Consumers sued the Wuhan Intermediate People's Court of Wuhan City, Hubei Province for the irregular marking of the production date of the "Lion Beer (Craft Brew)" sold at the steel flower shop of a supermarket chain in Wuhan.
Viewpoint: Consumers believe that the outer packaging label of the food involved is marked with "production date: see bottle body (day/month/year)", and the bottleneck has the words "1902090318, B/BSEP2020". The company involved said that the wording shows the production date as 2019 On February 9th, it did not match the label on the bottle body (day/month/year) on the production date, and it was a food that did not meet the food safety standards. A steel flower shop in a supermarket believes that consumers are professional counterfeiters; the food involved is Sri Lankan beer imported by the company involved, which is very different from my country in cultural and legal aspects.
The verdict of the first instance: a certain supermarket steel flower shop returned a refund and paid ten times the compensation.
The second instance verdict: a certain supermarket steel flower shop returned a refund.
