Substandard quality: These helmets do not follow the safety standards and can cause serious head injuries.
What will be the benefits of government action?
Improvement in road safety: Banning the sale of duplicate helmets will improve road safety and reduce deaths and injuries in road accidents.
Promotion of genuine products: This action of the government will promote the production and sale of genuine and quality helmets.
Consumers’ interests are protected: This will ensure that consumers get quality products and they can avoid fraud.
What precautions should consumers take?
Buy from an authorized dealer: Always buy a helmet from an authorized dealer.
Check the quality of the helmet: Before buying a helmet, get complete information about its quality and safety standards.
Make sure to take the bill: While buying a helmet, make sure to take the bill, so that it can be used in case of any problem in the future.
