The refund amount represents one of the largest compensations for consumer complaints. This case emphasises the vulnerability of rapidly expanding e-commerce to supply chain and quality control issues.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>What happened<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The committee determined that the oil packaging had a shelf life of <strong>12 months<\/strong>, although according to GOST standards it was no more than <strong>6 months<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Marking norms were violated: the mandatory <strong>UzTR 724<\/strong> technical regulation was not specified.<\/li>\n<li>The products were sold under the brand name <strong>Oila Tanlovi<\/strong> \u2014 Uzum Market.<\/li>\n<li>The companies tried to appeal the prescription in court, but the lawsuits were rejected.<\/li>\n<li>The committee demands: either return the money to the buyers or transfer the amount to the budget.<\/li>\n<li>The error affected approximately <strong>145,000 bottles<\/strong> of oil that went on sale in April 2024.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What they say<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Uzum Market acknowledged the mistake. The specified period met international standards but overlooked local regulation. The entire batch was <strong>withdrawn from sale and returned to the manufacturer once the violation<\/strong> was found. The company stressed that the error did not impact the oil&#8217;s quality; it was solely related to the marking.   <\/p>\n<p><strong>Context<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Law \u201cOn Protection of Consumer Rights\u201d mandates accurate information on expiration dates and regulatory frameworks. Uzum Market is actively promoting its own trademarks, and<strong> this incident could impact brand credibility<\/strong>. The Competition Committee has previously increased oversight over marketplaces, and the trend of e-commerce regulation in Uzbekistan is gaining momentum.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Competition Committee ordered Uzum Market and the manufacturer Buston Food Company to refund consumers for a batch of Oila Tanlovi sunflower oil with incorrect markings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":8723,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sharing_image":[],"_sharing_image_fieldset":[],"pin_until":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2061],"tags":[2458,2062,2455,2457,2456],"class_list":["post-8772","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","tag-boston-food-company-en","tag-business","tag-competition-committee","tag-consumer-protection","tag-uzum-market-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.0 (Yoast SEO v25.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Uzum Market will refund 1.6 billion soums for oil with an incorrect shelf life &#8212;
