Consumers’ rights are the protections afforded to consumers by law. These rights cover various aspects of the relationship between consumers and businesses, including but not limited to:
– The right to safety: Consumers have the right to be safe from products that are dangerous or defective.
– The right to be informed: Consumers have the right to be given accurate and truthful information about products and services before they purchase them.
– The right to choose: Consumers have the right to choose among different products and services, and to express their preferences freely without coercion or intimidation.
– The right to satisfaction: Consumers have the right to receive goods and services that meet their needs and expectations.
– The right to redress: Consumers have the right to seek redress from businesses if they feel they have been wronged. This includes the right to a refund, compensation, or repair of damaged goods.
These rights are not absolute, however, and may be subject to certain limitations depending on the circumstances. Nevertheless, National Consumer Rights Day is a good opportunity for everyone to familiarize themselves with these important protections.
