Snooza Pet Products (Aust) Pty Ltd (Snooza) has given a court enforceable undertaking to the ACCC following an investigation in relation to Snooza incorrectly labelling the composition of the Pet Futon (the Product). The ACCC has taken the view that by engaging in this conduct, Snooza breached sections 52, 53(a) and 55 of the Trade Practices Act 1974.
From on or about July 1998 to June 2004, Snooza supplied the Product labelled as "100% Australian Wool" and "All natural product", when testing of the filling of the Product has shown that it contained on average only 30% wool prior to December 2004 and 50% wool thereafter, the balance of the filling being comprised of polyester.
As part of the Undertaking given to the ACCC, Snooza has agreed to
refrain from making similar representations concerning the Product in the future;
offer a full refund of the purchase price of the Product; and
