organizations for consumer protection

Organizations for consumer protection are agencies or groups that help safeguard your rights as a buyer. They ensure products and services are safe, truthful, and fairly marketed. These organizations handle complaints, provide information, and may take legal action against unfair practices. Examples include government agencies like the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in the U.S. or consumer councils in other countries. Their goal is to create a fair marketplace, empowering consumers with knowledge and support, and holding companies accountable for dishonest or unsafe practices.
