BusinessCCPA Fines Amazon, Flipkart, JioMart for Selling Unregistered Herbicide
The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) fined Amazon and Flipkart Rs 10 lakh each, and JioMart Rs 5 lakh for selling and advertising an unregistered agro-chemical product called 'Cyclosinone Herbicide'. The CCPA ordered the immediate discontinuation of the product's sale and advertisement, citing lack of disclosure of its active ingredient and composition. The companies must conduct self-audits and submit compliance reports within 15 days. The probe was initiated after a complaint from the Crop Care Federation of India and the Agriculture Ministry confirmed the chemical is not registered under the Insecticides Act, 1968.
