Amazon, Flipkart and Snapdeal get CCPA notice for violating toy selling norms

 

Khare told CNBC-TV18 non-BIS compliant toys were being sold by all three e-commerce players and they have been directed not to sell them further.

BIS Director-General Pramod Kumar Tiwari told CNBC-TV18 that the BIS seized over 18,600 toys at 44 locations over the past month. Most of the seized toys were imported from China, he said.

He said search operations took place at several toy outlets, including Hamleys, Archies, WH Smith, Kids Zone, and Cococart located at major airports and malls across the country.

Outlets at Delhi airport, Noida, Ranchi, Chandigarh, Kolkata and more were raided, he said.

Confirming the receipt of the notice, a Flipkart spokesperson said, "Flipkart is a marketplace committed to democratising eCommerce for all in India and enabling lakhs of small businesses connect with customers through technology. As part of our 'customer first' philosophy, maintaining the quality of products that sellers offer on our marketplace has always been the top focus area. We remain committed to ensuring the highest quality of products sold on the platform. We have received notification from CCPA and will respond appropriately."
