It would be the 1979 Sale of Goods Act. 

http://www.jus.uio.no/lm/england.sale.of.goods.act.1979/doc.html

There are a number of clauses breached.  The item (line 66) does not 
comply with its description.

If you look elsewhere it also states that it must be of merchantable 
quality and it must be fit for the purpose it is sold as.  Sticking it 
in an aisle of CD implies it is a CD when it is not.

Have fun
