This Wednesday, “Rip Off Britain” tackles the increasingly murky world of online shopping, where deals can be tempting but dangers often lurk unseen. The consumer affairs show, hosted by Gloria Hunniford, Julia Somerville, and Louise Minchin, turns its attention to a particularly disturbing case: a young girl severely burned by nail glue purchased online.
The episode explores not only the immediate trauma of this specific incident but also the broader issue of unregulated products readily available on the internet. What safeguards are in place? How can consumers protect themselves from potentially harmful goods? “Rip Off Britain” aims to provide practical advice and guidance, offering viewers tools to navigate the often confusing online marketplace.
The team also investigates a wealth management firm facing a deluge of customer complaints and millions in potential compensation payouts.
“Rip Off Britain” airs Wednesday, April 23rd at 9:30 AM GMT on BBC One.
