Maggi Noodles Row: Case Lodged Against Nestle India, Amitabh Bachchan, Preity Zinta And More

The Union Consumer Affairs Ministry has also asked the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India to look into the matter while Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan said yesterday that a class action suit can also be initiated in the matter if a complaint is lodged in this regard with the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC).

The second case has been lodged by a local advocate in Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) court against the cine stars for promoting Maggi noodles, saying they have been found to be harmful for public health.

There were no comments from the company. Talking to newspersons, the advocate said he has lodged the case in the court of CJM against the three film stars who have claimed the instant noodles as healthy in TV promotions under sections 420, 272, 273 and 109. He said these film stars have earned hefty sums by terming Maggi noodles as healthy in advertisements and alleged "this wrong publicity amounts to mala-fide intentions and playing with the health of the kids and young people of the country."
