  • Boots pleads guilty over misleading Black Friday prices Misleading prices (breach of consumer protection legislation) · Co. Dublin

    Boots Ireland advertised sale prices on Oral-B electric toothbrushes and a Dior fragrance during the 2023/24 winter sales, including Black Friday on 17 November 2023, that did not match the lowest price of the previous 30 days. The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission investigated and prosecuted the company under EU pricing rules. On 26 May 2025 Boots Ireland pleaded guilty at Dublin District Court to one sample count, and the other two summonses were withdrawn. Judge Anthony Halpin adjourned the case to 26 June 2025, and sources differ on whether the probation act was applied after a €1,000 donation or depends on payments that include €4,624 in CCPC costs.
