Ritika, a school teacher in Pune, came across an advertisement on social media promoting a new health supplement that claimed to help with weight loss in just a few weeks. The ad featured attractive before-and-after images, along with testimonials from satisfied users, and stated that the product was "clinically tested" and "100% natural." Intrigued by the promising results, Ritika purchased the supplement for 1,500, believing it would help her with her weight loss goals.

After using the supplement for two weeks, Ritika noticed no change in her weight, and she began feeling some stomach discomfort. Concerned, she contacted the company's customer service for advice, only to receive vague responses. When Ritika did further research, she found out that the supplement had not undergone any clinical testing, and the ingredients listed on the label were not as advertised. Shocked by this misleading information, Ritika decided to file a complaint with the Consumer Forum.
