MOSCOW, Aug 9 (PRIME) -- Russian organization Public Consumer Initiative has sued U.S. Nike over the non-fulfillment of guarantee liabilities to the clients, news daily Izvestiya reported on Tuesday, citing a document of the organization.

"As an importer and a seller, Nike LLC and Nike Retail LLC are liable under the Consumer Rights Protection Law, including replacement of faulty goods with a new one of the same brand, free of charge elimination of faults of goods and return of the money paid for the goods on demand and choice of a consumer," CEO of the organization Oleg Pavlov said in the court claim, adding that after Nike quit the Russian market, it discontinued guarantee servicing.
