CCPA Fines Amazon Rs 1 Lakh for Misleading Sale of 'Ram Mandir Prasad' Sweets
The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) fined Amazon Rs 1 lakh for allowing ordinary sweets to be sold as 'Shri Ram Mandir Ayodhya Prasad' without authorization from the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust. The sweets, including ghee laddoos and pedas, were marketed misleadingly, potentially exploiting devotees' religious sentiments. The penalty must be paid within 15 days. The CCPA also extended rules to prevent unauthorized use of 'prasad' labels by sellers linked to major religious institutions.
