Consumer Commissions Order Compensation for Defective Prosthetic Devices in Two Cases
Two consumer cases involving prosthetic devices highlight service deficiencies. In one, a customer who lost two fingers received an artificial finger that did not match promised size, color, or thumb impression, leading a commission to order double compensation. In another, a man who lost a leg paid over Rs 2 lakh for a pneumatic artificial leg that caused pain despite nearly 50 repair visits; the manufacturer was held liable and ordered to pay Rs 1.45 lakh. Both companies were found guilty of unfair trade practices.
