HEGEL - Is it really made in Norway ?

Nonoise,
It is not the relocation that makes a company unethical. It is the hiding of basic info from the customer on purpose, in order to bias his opinion and maximize profit, that makes it. For this reason, nobody from Hegel will ever respond in this thread.

Created an Agon ALIAS 8/2015 to hide your identity just to pile on Hegel? I have an idea who's the LOSER. LOL!!!

What we have here is a handful of self-important, self-righteous, anonymous individuals who, for whatever reasons, have embarked on a campaign to denigrate a certain audio company based in Norway. There have been unsubstantiated allegations of impropriety, customer service and "unethical practices." These narcissistic accusers and allegedly aggrieved persons, are obsessive in their pursuit of their agenda.

Alas, given the nature of the Internet, this sort of thing happens all too frequently.

It's time for the moderators to close this thread.

The plot thickens.

"Can't fathom how dissatisfaction with Hegel's alleged lack of customer support can precipitate into a crusade to prove they are unethical for not explicitly stating their country of manufacture. If it were deemed to be in bad in law , there would be legal provision for it."

Regardless of weather or not you feel Hegel is unethical, they do try to hide the fact their stuff is made in China. Nothing has to be proved.

You're also forgetting the fact that a business has an obligation to service the customer. If the customer wants to know what country a product is made in, and considers that a material factor in their selection process, the seller has an obligation to give a truthful answer. Not just ethically, but legally. (At least in the US. Other countries, I don't know.)

I know some posters may want to challenge me based on what they "feel" is the law, but I'm not getting into an argument over facts. If anyone wants to find out for themselves, start with the UCC. You'll find several torts that cover what were discussing here.
