The Consumer Protection Act (UK)

The Consumer Protection Act in the UK safeguards buyers by ensuring products are safe, accurately labeled, and meet certain standards. It holds manufacturers and sellers responsible for any harm caused by faulty, unsafe, or misrepresented goods. The law gives consumers rights to seek repairs, replacements, or refunds if products are defective or not as advertised. It also sets clear rules for product safety, including regulations for imports and ensuring laws keep up with new technologies. Overall, it aims to promote fair trading and protect consumers from unfair business practices.
