CONSUMER ISSUES

• Consumer Rights:

  • Consumers have rights to receive satisfactory goods and services, protected by laws like the Consumer Rights Act in the UK.

• Product Liability:

  • Manufacturers and sellers are liable for defective products, and consumers can seek compensation for harm or damage caused.

• Misrepresentation and Unfair Practices:

  • Consumers are protected against misleading advertising and unfair commercial practices.

• Consumer Contracts:

  • Transparent and fair consumer contracts are essential, and consumers have the right to challenge ambiguous or unfair terms.

• Dispute Resolution:

  • Consumers have various avenues for dispute resolution, including Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), ombudsman services, and small claims courts, providing accessible options beyond traditional litigation.
