Abstract
Abstrak
Ketidaksesuaian antara label harga promo dan harga riil yang dikenakan kepada konsumen merupakan isu penting dalam perlindungan hak konsumen. Praktik ini sering terjadi di minimarket dan toko modern, menyebabkan ketidakpuasan, kerugian materiil, dan pelanggaran prinsip keadilan dalam transaksi. Penelitian ini mengkaji perlindungan hukum terhadap konsumen berdasarkan Undang-Undang Nomor 8 Tahun 1999 tentang Perlindungan Konsumen, dengan mempertimbangkan pula perspektif hukum ekonomi syariah yang menekankan transparansi dan kejujuran dalam perdagangan. Selain itu, penelitian ini menyoroti tanggung jawab pelaku usaha dalam memastikan harga yang tercantum pada label sesuai dengan pembayaran di kasir serta memberikan solusi untuk mengatasi masalah ketidaksesuaian harga. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa ketidaksesuaian harga melanggar prinsip dasar perlindungan konsumen, termasuk hak atas informasi yang jelas dan jujur. Studi ini merekomendasikan penguatan regulasi, peningkatan pengawasan oleh otoritas terkait, dan edukasi konsumen agar lebih kritis terhadap hak-hak mereka dalam bertransaksi.

Abstract
The mismatch between promotional price labels and actual prices charged to consumers is a significant issue in consumer rights protection. This practice frequently occurs in minimarkets and modern stores, causing dissatisfaction, material losses, and breaches of fairness principles in transactions. This study examines legal protections for consumers under Law Number 8 of 1999 on Consumer Protection, while also considering the perspective of Islamic economic law, which emphasizes transparency and honesty in trade. Furthermore, it highlights the accountability of business actors in ensuring that listed prices align with cashier payments and provides solutions to address price discrepancies. The analysis reveals that such mismatches violate fundamental principles of consumer protection, including the right to clear and honest information. This study recommends strengthening regulations, enhancing oversight by relevant authorities, and educating consumers to be more critical of their rights during transactions.
