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.

“We will not tolerate the sale of inferior or counterfeit items that compromise consumer safety. Stringent action will be taken against those responsible,” stated a senior official involved in the raids.

Amazon and Flipkart have assured their cooperation with the ongoing investigation and reiterated their commitment to maintaining high standards of product quality. The companies are expected to review their supply chains and enhance monitoring protocols to prevent such incidents in the future.

Further investigations are underway to determine the source of the substandard goods, with authorities likely to impose penalties on sellers violating the norms.
