I'm not sure but I own a lot of LeCreuset cookware and my local seller told me that every store has to sell LeCreuset for the same price and can only put the product on sale when LeCreuset tells them they can. When it goes on sale it's on sale at every retailer. I actually love this because I can buy it at the store I like without worrying about price. I wish everything were like this. Shopping price is stressful to me.
Does fair trade still exist
When I was growing up in the 70's a lot of products had a fair trade sticker or tag on it. Basically it meant the store could not discount the Item. I guess it must of been a federal law. I haven't seen fair trade stickers or tags on gear in over 25 years. Do these laws still exist on paper or were they overwritten?
