Despite adding meta description tag, error says: no meta description found

I tried <meta description="Boba Fett Shirts and hats for fans of Star Wars">, <meta description="Boba Fett Shirts">, <meta description="Shirts and hats for fans of Star Wars">

but the error always says no meta description found, unable to figure out the error!!!

index.html 
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>Star Wars Merchandise</title>
  <meta description="Boba Fett Shirts and hats for fans of Star Wars">
</head>
<body>
    <p>Star Wars Merchandise</p>
    <p>Boba Fett Shirts</p>
    <p>Available in white; sizes S-M-L-XL</p>
    <p>Darth Maul Hat</p>
    <p>Available in black or white at <a href="http://hats.com">Hats.com</a></p>

Hi Prateek,

There are just a couple things going wrong with the code.

First, your syntax for a description is a little bit off. You need a name of "description" and a content with the "description."

Second has to do with how picky the challenges are. You will need to delete the "Boba Fett" and will be good to go.

Corrected line of code: 

  <meta name="description" content="Shirts and hats for fans of Star Wars">

Keep Coding! :)
