Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
Statement I: Under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, raw material is also covered by the meaning of ‘product’. — Correct. A product is any article, goods, substance or raw material that has value of its own and is made to trade. Iron ore or cotton yarn sold to a factory is therefore a product.
Statement II: Under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, blood and blood products are kept out of the meaning of ‘product’. — Correct. The meaning of product does not include human tissues, blood, blood products and organs. So these are not products under the Act.
