Consumer Rights

Consumer rights refer to the legal entitlements and protections granted to individuals when they purchase goods or services. These rights are designed to ensure that consumers are treated fairly and are protected against unethical practices or exploitation by businesses. Key principles of consumer rights typically include the right to safety (products should be safe for use), the right to be informed (consumers should receive accurate information about products), the right to choose (consumers should have access to a variety of goods and services), and the right to be heard (consumers should have the means to express complaints and feedback). Additionally, consumers often have the right to seek remedies, such as refunds or exchanges, if products are defective or services are not delivered as promised. Consumer rights are enforced through various regulations and laws at national and international levels, helping to promote fair trade, protect consumers from fraud, and ensure ethical business practices.
