consumer law
Purchaser rights legislation
Consumer law is the body of legal rules and regulations designed to protect buyers of goods and services from unfair business practices.
It covers areas like product safety, truth in advertising, warranty rights, and protection against fraud or deceptive trade practices.
Consumer law gives individuals remedies when companies engage in misleading conduct or sell defective products.
The class action lawsuit was filed under consumer law after thousands reported the same manufacturing defect.
