Worse than water: Choice’s 2020 Shonky awards shames cleaning products, air purifiers and Harvey Norman
Choice slaps down big retailer’s credit card practices, InvoCare’s funeral pricing, a ‘pathetic’ air purifier, and Coles and Bunnings floor cleaners
An electronics retailer setting their customers up for “crippling debt”, a funeral provider hiding prices from grieving families, and cleaning products that perform worse than water are among brands Australian consumers are being urged to avoid.
Choice magazine’s latest Shonky awards, which “uncover and call out practices from companies taking advantage of their customers”, warned against a “pathetic” air purifier that “barely” purifies any air, and a company targeting older Australians with a health survey that uses the data generated to sell them beds.
