Answer» Akhil will not be able to protect himself by the loss caused due to expired medicine because he did not fulfil his responsibility on the following grounds: (i) He did not read the labels of the packet of medicines and did not notice the date of expiry. A consumer should always read labels carefully to have information about prices, net weight, manufacturing and expiry dates, etc. (ii) He did not obtain the cash memo, a proof of the purchase made, which is necessary for filing a complaint in appropriate consumer court.
