    SITUATION

    A teenager once went to the local market to buy


    materials for a Science project. Upon passing by
    some stalls, he was invited for a free orientation
    on the latest product of a company. The company
    was selling “health rings” that can detect the
    mood of a person and help lower body
    temperature and blood pressure. The teenager
    was easily attracted, which made him buy two
    health rings for himself and his sister. He spent
    Php600.00 for the items.

    After a week, the teenager and his sister developed red spots and rashes on their
    fingers. Upon checking, the rings are observed to have rust around them. The
    teenager wants to file a complaint so the company may return his money.
