Analyse the statements given below and identify which of the following is not the role of Consumer Organisations and NGOs?

Taking an initiative in filing cases in consumer courts in interest of general public

Withdraw the hazardous goods from sale

Organising training programmes and seminars etc to educate the general public

Providing legal assistance to consumers

✅ Correct Option: 2

Option 1 -> Consumer Organizations and NGOs actively file cases and PILs in consumer courts to protect public interest and consumer rights. Option 2 -> Withdrawing hazardous goods from sale is a regulatory power that lies with government authorities, manufacturers, or sellers, not with consumer organizations and NGOs. Option 3 -> Consumer Organizations and NGOs regularly conduct awareness programs, training sessions, and seminars to educate consumers about their rights and responsibilities. Option 4 -> Providing legal aid and assistance to consumers in filing complaints and representing them in consumer courts is a key function of these organizations. Hence, Option 2 -> Consumer Organizations and NGOs can identify, report, and raise awareness about hazardous goods, but they lack the legal authority to directly withdraw products from the market - this power rests solely with government regulatory bodies and enforcement agencies -> correct
