New Delhi: Along with financial penalties, the CCPA has directed Amazon, Flipkart and JioMart to conduct self-audits of their platforms after proceedings over Cyclosinone Herbicide listings.
What is the self-audit about?
The direction is aimed at identifying products that may violate applicable laws or pose risks to consumer life and safety. The platforms were also ordered to discontinue the misleading advertisements and sale of the product involved in the proceedings.
The CCPA asked the companies to submit compliance reports within 15 days of the respective orders, according to reports on the orders.
Why marketplace checks matter
Online marketplaces can host thousands of listings from different sellers. The case shows the importance of systems that verify seller documentation and regulatory requirements for products falling under specialised laws.
