- Mention any four details that a consumer should check on the label of a product, before purchase, to ensure its quality.
Solution
- Standardised marks are symbols or logos used to signify product quality, safety, or authenticity. Tara should check for the FSSAI mark for honey and Agmark certification for ghee to ensure quality standards set by the Government of India.
- The damaged seal on Tara's honey bottle breaches her right to product safety. Consumers deserve safe and well-packaged products.
- The four key details a consumer like Tara should check on a product label to ensure quality are:
- Expiry Date: This is the date beyond which the product's quality or safety may deteriorate.
- Manufacturer's Information: Look for the manufacturer's name and address for traceability in case of concerns.
- Ingredients List: This identifies probable allergies or undesired components.
- Standardized Mark: Check for applicable marks, such as AGMARK, to guarantee quality compliance.

Indian Youth Organisation (IYO) organised a visit of its members to an old age home to inculcate the habit of social work among them. The visit revealed that the living conditions of the inmates of the old age home were not hygienic. So, the IYO members decided to clean the premises. During their cleanliness drive, they realised that the old age home also required pest control. But some of the inmates of old age home were reluctant for it because they believed that the pest control may create health problems for them. IYO therefore decided to provide ethical, safe and odourless pest control. They showed to the inmates of old age home a pamphlet of the proposed pest control product which promised easy, inexpensive and long-lasting pest control. The inmates happily agreed and the pest
control was carried out. It worked for a fortnight but to their dismay, the effect started wearing off. IYO contacted the pest control company which kept on postponing their visit. After waiting for a month, IYO filed a case in the consumer court.
