Ajay Devgn Challenges FDA Notice Over Ads
Actor Ajay Devgn has moved the High Court against a Food and Drug Administration notice issued over Vimal Elaichi advertisements. His petition says the notice was arbitrarily issued to him as an actor, rather than to the company that manufactures the product. The case raises a question about who answers for claims made in product ads.
