In a gas station in Cataño, the person in charge looks at an empty shelf and responds, 'I’m out of stock, I’ll receive more tomorrow,' when asked if they have foam coolers. However, they are unaware that, by law, every establishment that sells them must display a sign informing consumers that their use is prohibited in swimming areas, beaches, and bodies of water in Puerto Rico.
This situation raises questions about the enforcement of the law prohibiting foam coolers in these areas, which was enacted five years ago.
