Undertaking

False representations in promotional material and other display documents for vinyl-cladding products.

Specifically, the unauthorised use of the AAF `Australian Made' logo, and of misleading technical reports.

Undertakings given:

  • to withdraw and revise promotional material and submit new material to Commission annually for three years;
  • to establish and implement a trade practices training program; and
  • to provide Commission with technical advice that the products sold to consumers as a result of the misleading technical reports were not inferior to the product described in those reports. If the latter advice is not provided Hallmark has acknowledged that the Commission can seek compensation for consumers who have been financially disadvantaged.
