Consumer Commissions Order Refunds Against Flipkart for Defective and Misdelivered Products
Two district consumer commissions ruled against Flipkart and third-party sellers for deficient service and unfair trade practices. In Chandigarh, a consumer was awarded Rs 16,999 after a washing machine malfunctioned within warranty and could not be repaired. In Mumbai, a man was ordered a refund of over Rs 2.14 lakh after receiving beard growth oil instead of an iPhone 14. Both cases highlight consumer rights under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, emphasizing seller and platform accountability for product delivery and defects.
