Persons who may have purchased any of these products are advised to return them immediately to the point of sale and to inform the Consumer Protection Service (ministry of commerce).

In a statement, the service said consumers have the right to return a product and demand a replacement. Where replacement is not possible, the consumer must be reimbursed to the full amount.

A product designated as defective or dangerous may be returned (or refunded) within two years of the purchase. The responsibility to replace or refund lies with the final seller.

 

 

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
