World Consumer Rights Day
March 15 · Level 8 · #565 of 2238
World Consumer Rights Day puts fair treatment for shoppers in the spotlight. It champions safe products, clear information and a voice for consumers, whether they are buying groceries or signing up for an online service.
How it is celebrated: consumer groups run awareness campaigns, explain shoppers' rights and offer help with complaints. Activities explore issues such as product safety, transparent pricing and business accountability.
The date recalls John F. Kennedy's address to the US Congress on 15 March 1962, when he set out four basic consumer rights.
