Noodles bought from Reliance Retail makes girl sick: Retailer blames her father for missing expiry date; Company fined Rs 20,000 for selling packet 3 months past expiry

A Himachal Pradesh consumer commission has ordered Reliance Retail to refund the purchase price and pay Rs 20,000 in compensation and litigation costs after a customer's daughter fell ill following consumption of Korean instant noodles that had expired three months before they were sold. The commission rejected Reliance's argument that customers should check expiry dates themselves.
