Last year, the Consumer Council received nearly 100 complaints about the uneven delivery quality of new properties. The Director-General of the Consumer Council, Wong Fung-han, said in Hong Kong and Taiwan's "Millennium" today (16th) that Hong Kong's property prices are the highest in the world, so buyers There are expectations for the quality of private properties, but various problems have been found after repossession, including delays in the implementation of the property by the developer and poor repairmanship, etc. Consumers are reminded that they should keep the sales brochures in mind, and they should also list out the deficiencies in writing to the developers. List, and properly record the progress and details of omissions. In case of disputes, it can also be used for reference.
The Consumer Council received 97 complaints last year, reflecting that the delivery quality of some new buildings was uneven. Wong Fung-han said that the property prices in Hong Kong were the highest in the world, so buyers had expectations for the quality of private properties, but found many problems when they bought them. For example, the floor of the unoccupied unit has been found to be moldy, and you have to stay in the hotel for two months to be repaired.
Of the 97 complaints filed last year, 67 involved dissatisfaction with maintenance. She mentioned that after buying a property, the developer will provide a six-month tenancy period. Developers should straighten out the procedures for handling omissions and assign more manpower to deal with them, because if the omissions are not handled properly, it will not benefit the developer, and resources will be allocated to develop new projects.
She also reminded consumers to keep the sales brochures when dealing with omissions, because they are basically the same as contracts, and they should also list out the list of omissions in writing to the developer, and they should also keep records of the progress and details of omissions, and when necessary It can be used as a reference for handling disputes.
She mentioned that consumers have the right to list clearly the scope of repairs. At present, it is common for homeowners to hire surveyors or building inspectors to conduct inspections. However, developers do not accept everything, and both parties need to meet and communicate.

In addition, the Consumer Council reviewed the retail prices of pulse oximeters on the market in April and found that they ranged from $85 to over $2,000, a difference of more than 22 times.
Huang Fengxian pointed out that during the epidemic, many citizens purchased oximeters by themselves to measure blood oxygen concentration, but did not pay attention to the uneven quality of many oximeters, which may also affect the readings due to various factors. If it is used as a single indicator to measure , If the accuracy is not high, if there is a disease, it will be taken lightly, and if there is an abnormality, it will be "shocked to death".
She also mentioned that there is currently no specific legislation governing medical devices in Hong Kong.
Only by voluntary registration of manufacturers or importers, there are currently only about 20 models on the registration list.
She continued that many overseas countries require medical products to be registered or approved before they can be marketed, and urged the Hong Kong government to consider bringing medical products into the scope of supervision to protect consumer rights.
The Consumer Council cites four situations in which the use of an oximeter is not suitable.
