The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) recently raided a FirstCry warehouse in Bengaluru and seized goods worth around INR 90 lakh. The operation was carried out to enforce compliance with mandatory certification norms and curb the sale of uncertified products.
The confiscated items lacked the required BIS certification, which is mandatory for specific product categories to ensure consumer safety and quality standards. This raises serious concerns about regulatory violations and potential risks to end users.
The incident highlights the need for e-commerce companies and retailers to strictly follow certification rules. Failing to do so can lead to legal trouble and financial losses.
FirstCry has not released any official comment on the matter so far. The action by BIS reinforces its role in upholding product standards and protecting consumers in the marketplace.
