Consumer Rights Movement

The Consumer Rights Movement is a social effort to protect and empower buyers by ensuring they have access to safe, honest, and fair products and services. Starting mainly in the mid-20th century, it advocates for laws that require companies to be truthful, provide accurate information, and accept responsibility for their goods. Its goal is to prevent exploitation, improve quality, and give consumers the knowledge and tools to make informed choices. This movement has led to regulations like product safety standards, truth-in-advertising laws, and proper complaint resolution, fostering a fairer marketplace for everyone.
