Amazon gets CCPA notice for selling sweets as Ayodhya Ram Temple’s Prasad
The CCPA has issued a notice to e-commerce platform Amazon for selling sweets under the name of Shri Ram Mandir Ayodhya Prasad
New-Delhi: The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) has issued a notice to e-commerce platform Amazon for selling sweets under the name of Shri Ram Mandir Ayodhya Prasad.
The action has been taken after the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) has accused Amazon of misleading his consumers by selling sweets under the guise of ‘Shri Ram Mandir Ayodhya Prasad’.
“Enabling the sale of food products online that make false representations misleads consumers regarding the genuine characteristics of the product. Such practice falsely influences consumers to make purchase decisions they might not have otherwise taken, had the accurate attributes of the product been mentioned,” the CCPA said in a statement.
The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) has sought response from Amazon within 7 days from issuance of notice, failing which necessary action may be initiated against them under the provisions of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.
The prasad listed on Amazon’s platform includes Raghupati Ghee Ladoo, Ayodhya Ram Mandir Ayodhya Prasad, Khoya Khobi Ladoo, Ram Mandir Ayodhya Prasad – Desi Cow Milk Peda,’ among others.
