Consumer Protection

Consumer protection refers to a set of laws and regulations designed to safeguard the interests of consumers against unfair, deceptive, or fraudulent practices in the marketplace. It encompasses a variety of measures intended to ensure that consumers have access to accurate information about products and services, that their rights are upheld, and that they have avenues for recourse if they experience harm or dissatisfaction. This can include regulations regarding product safety, accurate advertising, fair pricing, and the right to request refunds or exchanges. Consumer protection aims to promote fair trade, competition, and the informed use of goods and services, thereby building trust in the marketplace and fostering consumer confidence.
