Govt issues notices to e-commerce platforms for selling car seat belt alarm stopper

The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) has issued orders against the top five e-commerce platforms violating the Consumer Protection Act by selling car seat belt alarm stopper clips.

Authorities found that such clips were being blatantly sold on several e-commerce platforms.

The clips compromise the life and safety of consumers by stopping the alarm beep when not wearing seat belts. Selling of such items is in violation of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.

Chief Commissioner of CCPA Nidhi Khare passed orders against Amazon, Flipkart, Snapdeal, Shopclues and Meesho for violation of consumer rights and unfair trade practice.
