Five major e-commerce entities Amazon, Flipkart, PaytmMall, Snapdeal and Shopclues have been issued notices by the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) for offering pressure cookers, which don't meet the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) norms.
CCPA has sought response from the e-commerce entities within seven days from the issuance of notice, failing which action could be taken against them under the provisions of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.
The body has also written to Director General of BIS to take immediate note of the matter and take necessary action.
The notices were issued on November 18 to these entities as well as the sellers, a statement issued by the ministry of consumer affairs, food and public distribution said.
