Refund For Faulty Product

Summary

Under Australian Consumer Law (ACL), products must meet acceptable quality standards. If a product fails to meet these standards, you are entitled to a remedy such as a refund, repair, or replacement. Document your communication attempts with the retailer and check their refund policy. If the retailer doesnt respond, escalate your complaint to Fair Trading NSW. You can also report non-compliance issues, such as a faulty Regulatory Compliance Mark (RCM), to ensure the product meets safety standards.
