Consumer Rights:

Consumer law aims to protect the rights of consumers in transactions with businesses. These rights typically include the right to safety, the right to be informed, the right to choose, and the right to be heard.

Businesses are required to ensure that the products they sell are safe for consumers to use. This includes providing clear instructions for proper use and warnings about potential hazards.

Consumer law often regulates the terms of contracts between consumers and businesses, including warranties. It may require businesses to provide clear and understandable contracts and to honor warranties for their products.

Many consumer protection laws include provisions to protect consumers' personal information from unauthorized use or disclosure by businesses.

This aspect of consumer law focuses on regulating financial products and services to ensure they are fair and transparent. It includes laws governing credit cards, loans, mortgages, and other financial products.
