KNOW YOUR RIGHTS AS A CONSUMER!
Do you know that many items that are offered for sale in Suffolk County are required to have the individual price of the item tagged, stamped, or marked on the item itself? This is in addition to any prices that may be posted on a shelf face or a sign, store circular or store window.
There are some exemptions, for instance, small stores and some sale items, but most items in the following groups are required to have such individual item prices:
A)Food and pet food.
B)Paper goods, wrappings or containers used for storage, handling or serving of food.
C)Detergents, soaps, cleaning agents, cleaning implements.
D)Non prescription drugs, hygiene products, health and beauty aids.
With some exception, these items are required to be marked regardless of the type of store where they might be offered for sale.
You may call 631-853-5730 if you have any complaints or inquiries about the item pricing law as it applies in Suffolk County.
Following is a list of stores that have received recent violations from the Office of Consumer Affairs for failing to properly item price commodities offered for sale
