Consumer Affairs Victoria has raided Panda Mart, a newly opened discount megastore in Cranbourne, over serious product safety violations, including toys and household goods that pose choking, strangulation, or fire risks.
The store, which sells 28,000 low-cost items including homewares, sporting goods, and beauty products, mostly imported from China, opened on Feb. 27. It proved so popular that police were called on March 3 to control large crowds of shoppers pushing past staff to get into the store.
