“We have received a communication from the Central Consumer Protection Authority regarding misleading product claims by certain seller(s) and investigating them for violations. In the interim, we are taking appropriate action against such listings as per our policies,” an Amazon spokesperson was quoted as saying.
The company further emphasized that Amazon.in operates as a third-party marketplace, wherein sellers, and not Amazon, are responsible for listing and selling products to customers in compliance with Indian laws and Amazon’s policies.
The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) issued a notice, stipulating that Amazon provide a response within seven days regarding the retail of sweets on amazon.in under the label ‘Shri Ram Mandir Ayodhya Prasad’.
If the company fail to reply within the allotted time, the Consumer Protection Act of 2019 will trigger mandatory actions, the report mentioned.
