## Consumer complaint
A man bought four 250-gram Karonda cherries for Rs 450 through an e-commerce platform in June 2021 for his pregnant wife.
## Missing labels
The cherries lacked manufacturing and expiry dates, causing concern for his wife's health during pregnancy.
## Replacement issue
The replacement packets also had no manufacturing or expiry dates, so he destroyed them and sent a legal notice.
## E-commerce denial
The e-commerce company claimed it was only an intermediary and not directly involved in the sale.
## Commission ruling
The Kerala Consumer Commission ordered both the e-commerce site and seller to pay Rs 8,450 for the unlabelled cherries.
## Liability finding
The commission held that the e-commerce platform cannot escape responsibility for missing labels on food products.
## Key takeaway

A man received Rs 8,450 from an e-commerce company and seller after buying Karonda cherries without manufacturing or expiry dates for his pregnant wife.
