CCPA issues notice to Amazon for selling sweets as Ayodhya
Ram Temple ‘Prasad’
The Central Consumer Protection Authority(CCPA) has issued notice to Amazon for selling sweets as ‘Ayodhya Ram
Temple’ Prasad.
The action comes in response to a complaint lodged by the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT), alleging that Amazon is misleading consumers by selling sweets under the guise of “prasad” from the yet-to-be-inaugurated Ram Temple in Ayodhya.
The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) has further ruled that such practices mislead consumers on the true characteristics of the products.
The CCPA statement also mentions that 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 specific products in question listed on Amazon’s platform include ‘Sri Ram Mandir Ayodhya Prasad – Raghupati Ghee Ladoo, Ayodhya Ram Mandir Prasad, Khoya Khobi Ladoo, Ram Mandir Ayodhya Prasad – Desi Cow Milk Peda,’ among others.
Amazon has been given seven days to respond to the notice issued by the CCPA, failing which necessary actions will be initiated against the company under the provisions of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.
