Muscat – A consumer protection case involving a defective exercise bench purchased from a sports equipment establishment in the Muscat Governorate resulted in a formal court judgment against the establishment and its representative.

According to the details, a consumer bought an exercise bench which was found to be defective right from the first day following delivery and assembly.

Despite repeated communication and requests made by the consumer, the commercial establishment failed to send a technician to repair the product, replace it, or refund its value.

Consequently, the court ordered the establishment and its representative to pay a total fine of RO 400, with both penalties suspended, and mandated them to bear all associated legal costs.
