TRADING standards has urged consumers to report mis-described goods after a firm was fined £6,000 by Kidderm-inster magistrates.
Newark-based mobile phone supplier PT Distribution Ltd pleaded guilty to four offences under the Trades Descriptions Act.
It related to false trade descriptions of two mobile phones which claimed to have a "strong vibrating alert" when no such feature existed.
An investigation was made after a complaint from a member of the public.
Trading Standards officers made two test purchases of phones from a Kidderminster video retailer and found neither of the telephones had the claimed vibrating alert.
Trading Standards operations manager Steve Birch said: "The public are entitled to get goods which correspond to any description which have been applied to them.
"Anyone who finds mis-described goods is invited to bring it to the attention of the Trading Standards."
