Consumer Rights

Consumer rights refer to the legal entitlements and protections afforded to individuals when purchasing goods and services. These rights are designed to ensure that consumers can engage in fair trade practices, receive quality products, and have access to accurate information about what they are buying. Common consumer rights include the right to safety, which protects consumers from harmful products; the right to be informed, ensuring transparency about the properties and prices of goods; the right to choose, allowing consumers to select from a variety of options; and the right to be heard, ensuring that consumer interests are considered in decision-making processes. Consumer rights are often upheld by legislation and organizations that advocate for fair treatment in the marketplace, aiming to empower consumers and hold businesses accountable for their practices.
