ECC misleading headline:1 in 3 goods fail to arrive when shopping online

The ECC does great work in promoting consumer rights across Europe.

They made a mistake in this press release. I have made mistakes before. I am sure that everyone contributing to this thread has made mistakes.

This does not enhance their reputation and I agree that they should have simply and clearly acknowledged their error quickly and corrected it. Having said that, I don't see that there is much to be gained by hounding a good organization over one mistake.

I am disappointed to see that this misleading headline is still on their [broken link removed]6 months later.

Good News!

It looks like ECC-Dublin has finally got around to rectifying the offending incorrect article heading.

Unfortunately they still need to correct the heading in their 2006 archive [broken link removed]

Eighteen months and they still havent got around to fixing their 2006 archive:

Was there a 2007 version of the report?
 
It seems the misleading headline is still rattling around their archive.

Did they ever apologise for the headline which was so blatantly wrong? pdf from their archive:
