manufacturer details -law

[tali1]

I purchased a battery operated micro shaver -very nasty product it was .I was surprised that no where on packaging were any details of manufacturer/supplier
Are goods sold in UK by law supposed to have makers details ? -this is first time i have purchased a product with no details

What is wrong with it? Where did you buy it? Does it have the BS kite mark on it?

There's no law which requires a manufacturer's name to appear on packaging. For example if you buy 'own brand' electrical goods from a supermarket there is usually no indication of who actually made the products. (They'll just be branded as, for example, "Tesco Saver").

When you buy anything in the UK, your contract is with the retailer, not with the manufacturer. If the product is faulty, or otherwise 'not fit for purpose', it's the retailer who must put things right. Even if you could contact the manufacturer about it, he could simply tell you (perfectly legally) to get stuffed.

Like the razors they offer as complimentary items to the other rubbishy wares they sell.
