After Pepsi TV, latest offereing by the soft drink giant this summer is ‘condom’. Yes ! you heard it right.
According to TOI :
NEW DELHI: A local consumer court has slapped a fine of Rs 1 lakh on cola giant Pepsi for the presence of a foreign object in a sealed bottle. The complainant claimed it was a condom.
The court also awarded a compensation of Rs 20,000 to the complainant, Sudesh Sharma, who claimed to have fallen ill after consuming the soft drink from another Pepsi bottle which was bought along with the one that allegedly contained the foreign object.
Pepsi denied any negligence on its part, and said the bottles may have contained spurious products.
The Forum said the penalty would serve as an eye-opener for others who are engaged in manufacturing soft drinks and are required to maintain the prescribed standards of purity in public interest.
Now if only this incident had happened in the US, then surely Mr. Sudesh Sharma would been awarded a higher amount.
