One of the many ugg boot retailers in Australia, Ozwear Connection (Ozwear), has paid $25,000 in penalties for having allegedly made false representations about the country of origin of its “Classic Ugg” footwear range. The products were made to look like they were made in Australia when, according to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), they were made in China.
The ACCC issued Ozwear two infringement notices for the alleged false representations.
