What is true of online sales of professional products?

• A. They are illegal
• B. They are cheaper
• C. They are potentially dangerous
• D. They are always safe

Answer: (C)

Buying professional products online brings safety and quality concerns that aren’t always present with in-person purchases. Without direct evaluation, you may encounter counterfeit, expired, or mislabelled items, or products that require specific handling, storage, or application methods. The seller might not provide complete safety data, usage instructions, or verification of credentials, so misuse or inappropriate selection is more likely. These factors make online sales potentially dangerous, even though many legitimate vendors exist. The other statements aren’t universally true—online purchases aren’t illegal, they aren’t guaranteed to be cheaper, and safety isn’t assured in all cases.
