Epidemic prevention and control cannot be ignored
The China Consumers Association stated that at present, mutant strains of the new coronavirus such as Delta and Lambda are raging abroad. These mutant strains are more infectious and require higher prevention and control.
Although my country has achieved good results in the prevention and control of the epidemic, under the severe situation of the global new crown epidemic, the pressure on external prevention of import and internal prevention of proliferation is still great.

Get ready to go out and play
In order to effectively implement the epidemic prevention and control policies, many scenic spots have introduced an appointment system to implement current limiting measures. In order to avoid affecting the play experience, the China Consumers Association recommends that consumers must check the scenic spot’s official website or phone to learn about the relevant regulations of the scenic spot in advance. Request to make an appointment, make sufficient preparations, and travel in a civilized manner.
The China Consumers Association stated that consumers should put service capabilities, service quality, and product quality in the first place when registering for tourism and group purchases of various tourism consumer products. Price is the only basis for consumption. Be wary of soliciting customers that are significantly lower than reasonable prices, such as "free travel for members", "0 yuan tour group", and "super low-cost accommodation", so as to prevent falling into the trap of black-hearted merchants.
When signing a travel service contract with a business, you must carefully read the terms of the contract, especially the standards related to food, accommodation, and transportation, as well as the rights and obligations of both parties, and responsibilities for breach of contract.
Buy moon cakes and hairy crabs to prevent pits and lightning
"Double Festival" is not only a wonderful time to enjoy mooncakes, but also the best time to taste hairy crabs.
For this reason, the China Consumers Association reminds that when buying moon cakes, consumers should try to buy them through formal channels, carefully check the main ingredients, production date and shelf life of the moon cakes, and check whether there is a "SC" mark; for bulk or on-site manufacturing For moon cakes sold, pay attention to the color, shape, smell, etc. of the moon cakes, and carefully check the sanitary conditions on site.
Take a rational view of the concepts of "discount", "promotion", "health care", and "sugar-free", and buy on demand to avoid waste.
Due to the high proportion of sugar and fat in moon cakes, consumers are advised to consume them in moderation.
Regarding the purchase of hairy crabs, the China Consumers Association stated that consumers should pay particular attention to the prevention of "crab coupons" routines.
Many consumers reported that after purchasing "crab coupons", they were faced with the imbalance of supply and demand of "a coupon in hand, crabs are hard to find", or the crabs they received have shrunk seriously and are short of catastrophe.
Therefore, it is recommended that consumers keep their eyes open and try to choose regular offline brick-and-mortar merchants or reputable e-commerce companies to buy hairy crabs.

Look for the "blue hat" when buying health food, and beware of falling into the trap of cheating the old
Because the Double Ninth Festival follows the "Double Festival" holiday, some consumers may buy health foods as gifts for their elders, and some elderly consumers may buy health foods for themselves.
The China Consumers Association reminded that at present, there are many ordinary foods on the market that look very similar to the health food packaging. If you don't distinguish them carefully, it is easy to buy "Li Gui".
When consumers buy health food, they must look for the "blue hat" (exclusive health food logo) and check whether there is a health food approval number under the logo that can be queried online.
In addition to health food, financial management, telecommunications fraud, and low-cost travel are also consumption issues that elderly consumers are prone to be deceived.
The China Consumers Association recommends that on the one hand, elderly consumers should learn more about consumption knowledge and improve their awareness and ability to prevent fraud; on the other hand, they should communicate more with their children before making purchase decisions, especially when large amounts of consumption are involved. , Be sure to pay attention to the opinions and suggestions of your children.
