I looked into the coverage in the Polish media and it looks like this headline is blowing it out of proportion.
Yes, we do have an agency here in Poland which, much as in many other first world countries, monitors consumer goods’ quality.
But all UOKiK did is signal that they are going to be looking into the matter. Not exactly an investigation - more of an inquiry. One made from complaints from dissatisfied customers.
If they were to find that the allegations are true, they would be entitled to taking 10%, but that is the maximum punishment and they would probably have to go to court to prove it all.
Other legal sources say this is would be an extreme sentence and that this almost never happens with UOKiK.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
