NEW DELHI: The State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission has upheld a city consumer court order that slapped a fine of Rs 2,500 on confectionery major Cadbury India for repacking old chocolate bars with fresh manufacturing dates on the wrapper. The forum has asked the company to pay the amount to the father of a child who was taken ill after consuming the chocolate. "Nobody can be allowed to play with the health of children. We warn them, if in future, any such incident comes into our notice, we will impose exemplary punitive damages," Delhi State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission bench of Justice JD Kapoorand member Ruminita Mittal said.
