The size of the bottle in which this product comes has been reduced and, as a result, there has been a price increase of 25%. The position is the same in respect of Pampers baby wipes and Persil washing-up liquid.

If possible, we should take action to outlaw this type of deceitful and deceptive way of increasing prices. This type of underhanded behaviour should be highlighted for consumers.
