Fined for failing to make consumers clearly aware of expiry detailsThe Coca Cola had over the years occupied the top most sought after soft drink among the consumers in Sri Lanka.
However the company was fined by a court order for not making the consumers well aware of the expiry dates in terms of the ‘consumers act’ by misleading them. The Coca Cola manufacturing company was fined today a sum of Rs 150,000/-(Rupees one hundred and fifty thousand) by the Kebithigollewa Courts. The reason was for not complying in adhering to clearly indicate the dates of expiry on the bottles of the soft drinks which is compulsorily to be known for the consumers awareness.

The Sri Lankan Coca Cola company in the recent past was on the media highlight for manufacturing sub-standard quality drinks and in several occasions the company had been found guilty by courts and imposed penalty for against their products too.
ReplyDeleteA week back I felt ill for consuming a "Fanta" brand 'Cream Soda' of this company. Since the bottle had been already opened for consumption there were no way of taking any legal action against the company. Thereafter I was very cautious about their products and nearly two days back I came across of a 300ml beverage drink bottle of the same nature (un-opened)
The company was informed by me of their inferior (contaminated with foreign matter) quality product. A company official who visited me yesterday suggested to exchange a another bottle of drink for against the contaminated one.
Still I do posses the contaminated drink bottle with me which is supposed to expire on April 2012.
