Indian Consumer Commissions Award Compensation for Defective Footwear Products and Service
Two consumer commissions in India ruled in favor of buyers who faced product defects and poor service from footwear companies. In Rajasthan, a mother and son were awarded Rs 13,000 after branded shoes developed cracks within six weeks and the seller refused replacement. In Kerala, a man received Rs 3,495 compensation after a shoe polish spray failed to work and the company did not resolve his complaint. Both cases cited deficiency in service and mental distress caused to the consumers.
