New Delhi, Mar 28: In a major crackdown on counterfeit and substandard products, authorities conducted raids at warehouses of leading e-commerce giants Amazon and Flipkart, seizing a substantial quantity of goods that failed to meet quality standards.
The raids were carried out following numerous consumer complaints regarding defective and low-quality products being sold through these online platforms. Officials from the Consumer Affairs Department, along with local enforcement agencies, inspected multiple warehouses across different cities to identify and seize the substandard items.
According to sources, the confiscated goods included electronics, cosmetics, and household items that were found to be non-compliant with established safety and quality regulations. Authorities have warned both companies to strengthen their quality control mechanisms to prevent the sale of such products.
