Read the situation and answer the questions. A teenager once went to the local market to buy
materials for a Science project. Upon passing by some stalls, he was invited for a free orientation
on the latest product of a company. The company was selling “health rings” that can detect the
mood of a person and help lower body temperature and blood pressure. The teenager was easily
attracted, which made him buy two health rings for himself and his sister. He spent Php 600 for
the items. After a week, the teenager and his sister developed red spots and rashes on their
fingers. Upon checking, the rings are observed to have rust around them. The teenager wants to
file a complaint so the company may return his money.
