CCPA fines Amazon Rs 1 lakh for misleading 'Ram Mandir Ayodhya Prasad’ listings
The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) has imposed a Rs 1 lakh penalty on Amazon for promoting misleading advertisements featuring sweets falsely labeled as "Shri Ram Mandir Ayodhya Prasad." The authority found that these listings lacked authorization from the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust. The phrase "Shri Ram Mandir Ayodhya Prasad" holds a specific meaning for Hindu devotees, signifying sacred food offered to the Ram temple deity.
Amazon's hosting and facilitating of these listings amounted to a misleading trade practice under the Consumer Protection Act and an affront to the religious sentiments of millions of consumers.
