National Consumer Protection Week

National Consumer Protection Week (NCPW) is an annual event in the United States, typically observed in early March, aimed at educating consumers about their rights and promoting safe shopping practices. It is organized by the Federal Trade Commission and other government agencies to raise awareness about consumer issues, such as identity theft, scams, and fair marketplace practices. During this week, various organizations host events and distribute resources to empower consumers to make informed decisions, recognize fraud, and assert their rights, ultimately fostering a safer and more informed shopping experience.
