- Contact the Derzhprodspozhyvsluzhba — file a complaint online or in writing. It conducts inspections and can impose fines. 2. Provide evidence: a photo of the labeling, the receipt, a description of the violation. 3. Request a laboratory analysis. 4. Report the violation via the hotline or website (can be done anonymously). 5. In case of harm to health — document the consequences and demand compensation through the court. Such actions help to hold the manufacturer accountable for unfair advertising and violation of labeling requirements.
