Greenwashing, fake reviews and 'pestles': the amendment to the law is aimed squarely at entrepreneurs
The government has tabled an amendment to the Consumer Protection Act and the Civil Code, taking over the new rules from the EU. In practice, this means the end of free claims such as “eco”, “sustainable” with no verifiable basis, a ban on false or manipulated reviews and penalties for hidden “bullets” that shorten the life of products.
What awaits you?
- the obligation to verify the authenticity of reviews,
- not to use “eco” and “sustainable” without certification, and
- clearly inform about rights from defects, “warranty for life”, software updates and repairability of goods.
After repair, it will warranty extended for another year and the seller must explicitly notify the customer of this.

The Supreme Court Just Refined the Rules of the Game for Landlords' Retention Law
According to the Supreme Court (26 Cdo 2057/2025), § 2234 o.z. must be interpreted as meaning that the lessor may retain only things owned by the lessee. No vendor refrigerators, no leasing machines, no third party goods.
Relationship between the main thing and its accessories
it is necessary, from the point of view of law, to differentiate separately from liability for defects of the purchased item, the defects of the main thing and the defects of its accessories, since, fundamentally, the main thing does not share the fate of its accessories. Thus, a defect in the accessories of a mobile phone (headphones, charging adapter) does not entitle you to withdraw from the purchase contract even in relation to the main thing (mobile phone), which in only one case manifested a defect, which was eliminated by repair, and then no further defect appeared on it. (Judgment of the Supreme Court of 30 September 2025, sp. n. 33 Cdo 2225/2023)
