RADIOSHACK FINED FOR LABEL OMISSIONS
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
The FCC Tuesday fined a half-dozen retail stores, including RadioShack, almost $100,000 for failing to properly label their TV sets. RadioShack was fined $16,000 for what the FCC said were willful and repeated violations. The company disputed that characterization. Five other less-well-known stores were fined for failure to label their sets properly. All had been given citations over the summer, with the FCC saying its Enforcement Bureau had followed up only to find that all, to greater or lesser extents, had continuing violations. The biggest fines were levied against Fred Meyer and Ultimate Electronics ($24,000 apiece), followed by $16,000 apiece for RadioShack and Boscov's and $8,000 apiece for Gregg Appliances and Trans World Entertainment.
