The Four Core Consumer Rights
Over the past thirty years, consumer rights have played a critical role in shaping legislation focused on protecting buyers. These rights outline the aims and achievements of the consumer movement, and consist of:
The Right to Safety
Consumers are entitled to products that are safe for their intended use. Manufacturers must provide clear instructions for proper use and conduct thorough testing to ensure quality and reliability. Increasingly, consumers and the government have won lawsuits against businesses for selling defective products, leading to larger compensation awards. This growing demand for safety means that consumers will avoid products perceived as unsafe or unreliable.
The Right to Be Informed
Consumers have the right to access comprehensive information about a product before purchase. This includes ingredient and nutritional details on food labels, fabric and care instructions on clothing, and transparent disclosure of borrowing costs for purchases made on credit. Manufacturers are also required to inform consumers about potential hazards associated with their products.
The Right to Choose
Consumers should have access to a variety of products from different manufacturers and sellers to meet their needs. The government encourages this diversity through antitrust legislation, fostering competition that benefits consumers by reducing prices and enhancing choice.
The Right to Be Heard
Consumers can expect their complaints to be acknowledged and addressed appropriately. This shift began after World War II when businesses, facing renewed competition, started to prioritize consumer feedback. Today, many companies have dedicated consumer relations departments, often reachable via toll-free numbers, to ensure they provide the support customers expect.
These rights not only protect consumers but also guide businesses in delivering safe, reliable, and transparent product experiences.
