The Bombay High Court ordered Amazon to transfer expired goods to the FDA. This action follows the agency's earlier reprimand for its drastic warehouse measures. The court also mandated the FDA to file its affidavit by August 27. Amazon had challenged the suspension of its warehouse license. This directive ensures scientific disposal of perishable and expired items.
