YLKI opens hot line for holiday gifts

JAKARTA: The Indonesian Consumer Foundation (YLKI) will open a hot line service for the upcoming holiday season, when people celebrate Idul Fitri, Christmas and New Year's by sending gifts and packages of food, mostly imported.

"We encourage consumers to check the expiry date on the food products they are about to send or they have received, as well as the validity of the food and beverage import certificate," said YLKI legal and complaints division head Sularsi in a press release made available to The Jakarta Post.

The foundation encourages consumers with a complaint to write to Yayasan Lembaga Konsumen Indonesia at Jl. Pancoran Barat VII No. 1, Duren Tiga, Jakarta Selatan, 12760, or call Sularsi at (021) 79191255 or 7981858/59. -- JP
