Undertaking
I-Life Factory Pty Ltd (I-Life Factory) operates a discount variety store located in Fortitude Valley in Brisbane which retails a wide variety of discount consumer goods, including elastic luggage straps.
In a section 87B undertaking accepted by the ACCC, I-Life Factory acknowledges that it contravened section 65C(1)(a) of the Trade Practices Act 1974 by supplying two types of "Boboriyong" elastic luggage straps without a warning label as required by regulation 11C of the Trade Practices (Consumer Product Safety Standards) Regulations 1979.
The non-compliant products were supplied between 22 September 2008 and 15 December 2008 to consumers.
I-Life Factory immediately arranged for the products to be withdrawn from its stores.
It voluntarily published a product safety recall notice in the Courier Mail newspaper on 17-18 January 2009, and displayed a copy of the product safety recall notice in its store for two months.
Under the court enforceable undertaking I-Life Factory has agreed to ensure that each product it supplies complies with any relevant consumer product safety standard, and to implement a Trade Practices Compliance Program.
