  • Toroslar Municipality inspectors examined stationery shops before the new school year as families increased their school-supply shopping.
  • Teams checked price labels, product information, licenses and the compliance of items such as notebooks, pens, erasers and paints.
  • Mayor Abdurrahman Yฤฑldฤฑz said the inspections aim to protect consumers and ensure that products used by children are safe.

With families rushing to buy school supplies, municipal inspectors in Toroslar have turned their attention to stationery shops across the district.

The teams checked whether prices were clearly displayed and matched the products on sale. They also examined information that could affect consumers and looked for practices that might mislead shoppers.

Particular attention went to products used directly by students, including notebooks, pens, erasers and paint supplies. Inspectors checked whether childrenโ€™s products carried the required information and safety warnings. They also reviewed businessesโ€™ licenses and briefed shop owners about any shortcomings they found.

Toroslar Mayor Abdurrahman Yฤฑldฤฑz said families should know not only how much they are paying, but also whether the products their children use are reliable. He said municipal teams would continue monitoring businesses where residents are shopping heavily as the school year begins, while supporting businesses that follow the rules.

What matters to us here is not only that families know the price of the product they buy, but also that the product their children use is safe.
