Amazon said that it has removed the sales options of Ram Mandir prasad (offering) and initiated action against the sellers after the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) slapped a notice on the firm in the scam.
"We have received communication from the CCPA regarding misleading product claims by certain seller(s) and investigating them for violations. In the interim, we are taking appropriate action against such listings as per our policies," an Amazon spokesperson told India Today
The consumer watchdog CCPA cracked down on the e-commerce giant, following India Today's report on the scam wherein sellers were selling sweets by making misleading claims of those being 'Sri Ram Mandir Ayodhya Prasad'.
The action was initiated on the basis of a complaint by the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT), alleging that Amazon is engaging in fraudulent trade practices involving the sale of sweets under the guise of prasad from Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, which is set for a grand inauguration on January 22.
