The CCPA has observed that various sweets/food products are available for sale on Amazon e-commerce platform (www.Amazon.In) claiming it to be "Shri Ram Mandir Ayodhya Prasad".

An official statement said, "Enabling the sale of food products online that make false representations misleads consumers regarding the genuine characteristics of the product. "Such practice falsely influences consumers to make purchase decisions they might not have otherwise taken, had the accurate attributes of the product been mentioned."

It may be mentioned that under Rule 4(3) of the Consumer Protection (e-commerce) Rules, 2020, no e-commerce entity shall adopt any unfair trade practice, whether in the course of business on its platform or otherwise.
