Consumers are exploited in the following ways:

i. Sale of adulterated goods, i.e. addition of inferior substances to the product being sold. Costly goods such ghee, spices and oil are adulterated to earn higher profits. This causes monetary loss to consumers and spoils their health

defective home appliances are the general grievances of consumers.
