Consumer Protection, Consumer Fraud, Consumer Scams and Related Class Actions

There are ways in which businesses can deceive consumers, and can adopt out and out scams or can adopt practices which result in the marketing of products different from the ones which were promoted, or can fail to honor warranties, can refuse to refund money, can present misleading labels, or can participate in other misleading practices which can lead to class actions.

A class or group action includes many people with the same or similar claims complaining of the same product or practice involving the same company. Sometimes these lawsuits are based on laws, known as “consumer protection” laws, “consumer fraud” acts, or “unfair trade practices” acts that provide consumers with protection from such unfair or deceptive acts. When these consumer protection laws are violated, they frequently affect a large class of consumers. A successful class action can result in both monetary relief and changing policies from which you and other people can benefit.
