Snapdeal, Shopclues and Meesho too have received CCPA orders
Per the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989, it is mandatory to wear seat belts
According to compliance reports submitted by all the five ecommerce entities, approximately 13,118 listings of car seat belt alarm stopper clips were delisted from the platforms
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.
According to the Central Motor Vehicles Rules,1989, it is mandatory to wear seat belts. However, online sales of such items that compromise passengers’ safety by stopping the alarm beep when not wearing seat belts can be unsafe and dangerous to the life and safety of consumers, the ministry noted.
