Respected Sir,
Sub: Representation to initiate action against the misleading and misbranded products of M/s Amway India Pvt. Ltd, Somajiguda, Hyderabad in terms of FSSA, 2006– Regarding.
****
1. I, M.V. Shyam Sundar, Secretary of Corporate Frauds watch Society, Hyderabad branch, humbly submit that the Corporate Frauds Watch Society is a registered civil society organisation striving to create awareness among general public against the frauds being committed in the corporate veil.
2. It came to our notice that M/s. Amway India Private Ltd, Somajiguda, Hyderabad has been selling products by issuing misleading advertisements. Apart from it, several criminal cases have been pending against the products of the M/s Amway India. Still Amway has been selling the same products with impunity which is detrimental to the health of general public. Previously, also several products of the Amway were found to be misbranded, not food and adulterated in the united state of A.P. The Food Safety authorities of several State Governments in India have also found during their tests that the products are not safe and initiated action against the M/s Amway India Enterprises. Several people also brought to our notice that their health was affected after using the products of Amway. But, no action has been initiated in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh against Amway though it is aggressively selling products in the two states.
3. In the interest of health of general public, it is prayed that the esteemed officer may be pleased to launch enquiry by testing the products of Amway regarding its genuineness in terms of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 and initiate action and save the health lakhs of innocent people.
Yours faithfully,
(M.V. Syam Sundar)
