The Indian government is launching a new online portal, ‘Trinetra,’ to combat the rise of misleading claims associated with Ayurvedic products. This initiative comes as sales of Ayurvedic products surge in India, highlighting the need for stronger regulatory measures to protect consumers.
The Supreme Court has taken a stern stance against Patanjali, slamming its founders Baba Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna for their misleading advertisements. Despite Ramdev’s previous apologies, the court deemed them insufficient and rebuked both the state of Uttarakhand and the central government for their inaction. The court also criticized Patanjali’s printed apologies in 67 publications, deeming them too small and ineffective. Additionally, the court raised concerns about other FMCGs running misleading ads that target babies, children, and the elderly.
