Question

Which among the following protects consumers from fraudulent advertising, mislabelling and misrepresentation?

• A. The right to be informed
• B. The right to choose
• C. The right to safety
• D. The right to be heard

Answer 1

The correct option is A The right to be informed

The Consumer Protection Act of 1986 assures consumers of the ‘right to be informed’. The consumer has the right to be informed about the quality, quantity, purity, standard, and price of goods to protect the consumer from unfair trade practices. If a person finds mislabelling and misrepresentation of a product, then he/she can approach the consumer court under the right to be informed.
