Harvey Norman fined $1.25m for false advertising
news The Federal Court in Brisbane has penalised retail giant Harvey Norman $1.25 million for misleading advertising, resulting from action by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC).
In her judgement, Justice Collier described Harvey Norman’s conduct as “seriously misleading and deceptive, on a significant and far-reaching scale.” The advertising involved promotion of the sale of 3D televisions in the ‘3D Finals Fever’ catalogue. The ACCC’s statement on the issue is available online here.
The catalogue gave the false impression that consumers in all the places where it was distributed could buy and use a 3D television to watch the 2010 AFL and NRL grand finals in 3D format. However, the catalogue was distributed across Australia, including in places where there was no 3D broadcast of the football grand finals.
