Consumer Protection

Consumer Protection

Consumers deserve fair treatment in the marketplace. CFA promotes consumer protection by advocating for strong laws and regulations, working for trade agreements that provide real benefits for consumers and do not weaken their rights, encouraging good business practices, supporting consumers’ ability to complain and obtain redress, and educating consumers about their rights and how to avoid fraud and abuse. CFA’s Consumer Protection Institute conducts research and brings experts together to address consumer protection issues.
