Fine of €12,000 for the Leclerc Saint-Prix (95) store for failure to display prices
On March 2, 2023, the Leclerc Saint-Prix (95) store was fined €12,000 for failure to display prices. This decision was made following an investigation by the Departmental Directorate of Protection of Populations (DDPP) of Val-d’Oise.
The investigation revealed that the store had failed to display the prices of several products, including food, household appliances, and clothing. This practice is prohibited by Article L.113-3 of the French Commercial Code, which requires businesses to display the prices of all products offered for sale.
The DDPP of Val-d’Oise considers that this failure to display prices constitutes a serious infringement of consumer rights. Indeed, consumers have the right to be informed of the price of a product before making a purchase. The absence of price tags can lead to confusion and make it difficult for consumers to compare prices and make informed choices.
In addition to the fine, the Leclerc Saint-Prix (95) store was ordered to display the prices of all products offered for sale within 15 days. The store has complied with this order.
This decision serves as a reminder to all businesses of their obligation to display the prices of all products offered for sale. Failure to comply with this obligation can result in significant fines.
