In addition, he has imposed a 10-lakh Hospital penalty on the online shopping platform for misleading advertisements.
CCPA sent an order after starting the action of Suo Motu against two companies, GlaxoSmithKline Asia for Sensodyne advertisements in India, which showed foreign dentists supporting them, and online shopping Naaptol for three ads – “Magnetic Set”, “Knee Support” & “Sandal Yoga acupressure “.
The sequence was passed after hearing the argument from the two companies.
