The company behind some of Australia’s best-known suburban fashion labels, has paid $630,000 in penalties for making false and misleading claims about hand sanitisers and face masks sold in the early months of the pandemic.

After a complaint from consumer advocate group CHOICE, the ACCC undertook independent testing of Mosaic Brands’ hand sanitisers.
