Review sites are publishing my original product description from my website, will that result in duplicate content?

Hi, with my online retail store, I previously used shopping comparison sites - shopping(dot)com(dot)au and am still using getprice(dot)com(dot)au.

These sites show up in the serp and the sites include a snippet of my product descriptions which appear next to each of my products on the shopping comparison sites (even the one I don`t use anymore shows the items still with deal not available next to it).

Given they are repeating part of my product descriptions, do you think they are negatively effecting the SEO/ranking of my site as a result of duplicate content?  enough to warrant asking them to remove the items totally??
