A crucial area of law and policy known as consumer protection strives to protect consumers' rights and interests in their dealings with companies and the marketplace. This summary gives a general review of consumer protection, emphasising its importance, goals, and fundamental tenets. Consumer protection aims to stop unfair practises, misleading marketing, fraud, and other types of exploitation in order to solve the inherent power disparity between customers and enterprises. Its main goals are to advance consumer welfare, guarantee the safety of goods and services, encourage fair competition, and assist consumers in making well-informed decisions. Transparency, fairness, accountability, and accessibility are just a few of the essential concepts of consumer protection that are explored in the abstract. Giving customers clear and accurate information about goods, services, costs, and terms and conditions is a key component of transparency. Fairness includes forbidding exploitative business practices, unjust pricing, and unfavourable contract conditions. Accountability ensures that companies accept responsibility for any damage done to customers and makes them responsible for their activities. Accessibility is providing everyone, regardless of socioeconomic level, with easy access to consumer protection procedures and remedies.
