CCPA asks e-tailers to put in place mechanisms to prevent unregulated sale of acid

Consumer protection regulator CCPA on Wednesday said it has directed e-tailers to immediately put in place appropriate mechanisms to prevent sale of ‘acid’ on their platforms. The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA), headed by Chief Commissioner Nidhi Khare, also alerted consumers against purchase of acid on e-commerce platforms without adhering to the mandatory requirements.
