Question

A chemist sold you an expired medicine. In such a case, under which of the following right can you approach the Consumer court?

• A. Right to be Informed
• B. Right to Safety
• C. Right to Choose
• D. Right to be Heard

Answer 1

The correct option is B Right to Safety

The Consumer Protection Act of 1986 guarantees the ‘right to safety’. Consumers have the right to be protected against the marketing of goods and services which are hazardous to life and property. If a consumer is sold an expired medicine, then he/she should approach the Consumer court under the right to safety.
