Civil suit against fair & lovely (Unilever)

Dear All,

History was made in US legislature when a woman sued against COKE for obesity and got compensation in millions of USD for not divulging the calorie content of the cola drinks.Coke theron launched a new low calorie brand DIET COKE to keep in view that it doesnot get sued in future.MARLBORO was sued by patients claiming that the company hid the fact that tobbaco caused cancer .If we remeber the most popular brand of indian cosmetic of the lower to mid income group, in the ealy 80's to 2000 was ruled by FAIR & LOVELY a product of then Hindustan Lever ( Now Unilever). The product claimed that it makes a women fairer in 4 -6 weeks of application. Thanks to indian obsession with the with skin, the product sold like hot cakes in absence of competition. We all know the average indian has been taken for a ride for a generation by this company. Can we sue this company , and expect that the indian judiciary will go in lines with the US judiciary to teach a lesson or two to not play with the sentiments of people and tajke them for a ride???

Please give in your comments

Regards,

Rajeev

You can sue the company, provided

(1) you have proof of all the allegations made in your plaint,

(2) you are prepared to pay the court fees for the amount of compensation that is sought in your plaint.

You can file a consumer complaint. So you can claim compensation without paying high court fee.
