The Commerce Ministry has ordered an investigation into complaints that some vendors have marked up prices of child booster seats for cars following an announcement of a new regulation that will make them mandatory.
Deputy Prime Minister and Commerce Minister Jurin Laksanawisit said on Thursday that the ministry has ordered the Department of Internal Trade (DIT) to look into the matter and resolve it.
The department recently met with related parties including retail store representatives, wholesale traders and online platforms to inform them that current prices must be maintained unless they get DIT approval.
