CCPA Fines Amazon Rs 1 Lakh for Misleading 'Ram Mandir Prasad' Sweets Listing
The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) fined Amazon Rs 1 lakh for allowing the sale of ordinary sweets labeled as "Shri Ram Mandir Ayodhya Prasad" without authorization from the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust. The CCPA stated this labeling misled devotees who believed the sweets were sanctified offerings from the Ram Mandir. The penalty follows a complaint by the Confederation of All India Traders, highlighting that such commercial use of the phrase violates consumer protection laws and affects religious sentiments.
