New Halachah Scandal - Easy Light brand prepared Chanukah lights pull oil switcheroo

Easy Lights brand prepared Chanukah lights are the basis for a new scandal where money overrides morality and Halachah. The Easy Lights, which are little glass lamps filled with oil and a wick, were selling for $13.99 for a full set which is half the price of any other brand. Competitors could not believe that it was possible to sell prepared Chanukah lights in glass holders filled with extra virgin olive oil for such a low price, so they sent it to a lab to be checked out. The lab results showed that the lights did not contain olive oil, but was rather filled with inexpensive everyday vegetable cooking oil. The Bal HaMachshir has already pulled his Hechsher and has declared the maker as defrauding the people.
