Panama’s Authority for Consumer Protection and Defense of Competition (Acodeco) has clarified it is not currently issuing fines to mini-supers for selling 25-pound propane gas cylinders with less than the stated content. This announcement follows ongoing market surveillance operations across the nation aimed at verifying the net content of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (GLP) cylinders. Acodeco emphasized these verification operations are a continuous part of its market monitoring efforts, ensuring fair practices. While no fines are presently being levied, the agency will continue inspections to safeguard consumer rights. The long-term goal is to guarantee consumers receive the correct amount of gas when purchasing cylinders. Acodeco’s proactive approach indicates a sustained commitment to protecting consumers from deceptive practices within the LPG market.
