The CCPA found that Xboom’s listings omitted information concerning mandatory licensing requirements while marketing equipment capable of interfering with or neutralising drone communications.
“Xboom is in violation of Sections 2(9), 2(28) and 2(47) of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, in respect of its listing/hosting of the six Restricted Products … without disclosure of the applicable licensing/regulatory restrictions,” the CCPA said.
The six products identified by the authority included X-Mini, X-Radar XK2, X-Eye, X-Gun XK4, RF-Patrol XK2 and XGuard.
The CCPA noted that jammers and similar equipment are subject to various statutory restrictions and licensing regimes. It said equipment capable of interfering with licensed communications cannot be freely sold or used merely as an ordinary commercial product.
