Consumer Commissions Award Compensation for Defective Artificial Limb Prostheses in India
Two consumer commissions in India ruled in favor of individuals who received defective artificial limb prostheses. In Chhattisgarh, a man who lost his leg was awarded Rs 1.45 lakh after persistent pain and repeated repairs failed to fix his faulty artificial leg. In Tamil Nadu, a man who lost two fingers was granted Rs 40,000 after receiving a wrongly sized artificial finger lacking the promised thumb impression, with the company found guilty of unfair trade practices. Both cases highlight challenges faced by disabled individuals in obtaining quality prosthetic devices.
