Consumer Commissions Award Compensation for Defective PC and Incorrect Spectacles in India
Two consumer commissions in India have ordered compensation in separate cases involving defective products. In Visakhapatnam, a father was awarded over Rs 2 lakh after a computer store failed to fix persistent issues with a custom-assembled gaming PC. In Howrah, an optical store was directed to pay Rs 1 lakh after supplying spectacles with reversed lenses, which worsened a child's vision over six months. Both rulings cited deficiencies in service and negligence by the sellers.
