Flipkart Fined For Selling Substandard Pressure Cookers To Consumers

The Central Consumer Protection Authority has imposed a penalty of Rs 1,00,000 on Flipkart for allowing the sale of substandard domestic pressure cookers on its platform.

That's a violation of consumer rights, CCPA Chief Commissioner Nidhi Khare told Press Trust of India.

The Bengaluru-based e-commerce firm has also been directed to notify consumers of all 598 pressure cookers sold on its platform, recall them, and reimburse money to the consumers, she said.

The company has also been asked to submit a compliance report of the same within 45 days, she added.
