The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) has issued orders against Amazon, Flipkart, Snapdeal, Shopclues and Meesho for selling car seat belt alarm stopper clips in violation of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. Selling such products violates consumer rights and the act also comes under unfair trade practices, the ministry of consumer affairs said on Friday.
