Consumer Protection

Readers looking for the latest news in consumer protection laws can find them on the National Law Review. The free online resource examines the form of government regulation by looking at news from different governmental agencies. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), are among the agencies the National Law Review follows, providing updates and legal analysis to readers on these topics.

Visitors can read about several different types of consumer protection law reform, issues, and news stories on the site. Unsolicited communications from companies that might violate the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), data privacy concerns, or unfair pricing practices by companies, including price gouging, are analyzed by the legal experts who write for the National Law Review. Readers can also find stories related to cybersecurity and privacy concerns that impact them at the state and federal level, deceptive and abusive conduct, and financial reform legislation under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Licensing terms, regulations related to violations of consumer protections, enforcement of regulations, and recalls by the CPSC are also covered.

Along with regulations and legislation on consumer protection, the National Law Review covers litigation related to violations and class actions against corporations who violated these rules.  The implications of these decisions are broken down by the attorneys and other legal experts who write for the National Law Review, and our coverage provides insights into what to expect as results of these decisions and judgments.

Consumer protection news from around the world, not only the United States, can be read in the National Law Review. The European Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, the International Consumer Protection and Enforcement Network (ICPEN), and other regulating agencies are covered on the site. Visitors can learn about the latest regulations, news, stories, and enforcement actions in the United States and around the world on the National Law Review.

For hourly updates on the latest in legal, legislation, government regulation & compliance, litigation, court procedures, and corporate law news, be sure to follow the National Law Review Twitter feed and sign up for complimentary e-news bulletins.
