Faulty Cereals “Can’t Be Recalled” From Lebanese Market

Guess where the ‘trick’ is in this statement:

But since there is no exclusive buyer agent for Kellogg’s in Lebanon, the Consumer Protection Department at the Economy Ministry announced it was difficult to recall cereal boxes from the market.

It’s the use of the word ‘exclusive’. Any agent can recall goods. The exclusive agency model is one of the negatives of the Lebanese economy. Such agencies stifle competition and hurt the Lebanese consumer.
