Leading retailers fined for misleading Black Friday promotions
The ACCC has levelled fines at three major retailers for allegedly making false and misleading representations about their Black Friday sales last year.
Michael Hill Jeweller, Global Retail Brands — who operate homewares business MyHouse — and Hairhouse Warehouse each paid fines of $19,800, after the consumer watchdog conducted a sweep of advertisements for last year’s Black Friday and post-Christmas sales events and found various promotions “misrepresented the size and scope of discounts being offered to consumers.”
