The attorneys at the Matern Law Group have many years of experience protecting consumers from a variety of unfair, deceptive, and predatory practices.
Deceptive trade practice laws aim to prevent false claims, disinformation, and fraudulent tactics that might mislead consumers into purchasing a product or service. California has specific laws prohibiting false advertising and fraudulent practices.
An example of fraud is tampering with an odometer to make a vehicle appear to have fewer miles. Such actions violate the law, and remedies, including compensation for losses and fines related to legal violations, may be available. A consumer protection lawyer knowledgeable in consumer rights laws can assist in seeking compensation and fighting against deceptive practices.
California’s consumer protection laws are robust, aiming to safeguard consumers from deceptive marketing practices through a combination of statutory provisions, legal recourse options, and regulatory oversight. Consumers are encouraged to report misleading advertisements and seek legal advice if they believe their rights have been violated.
“Greenwashing” is the process of conveying a false impression or misleading information about how a company’s products are environmentally sound. Greenwashing involves making an unsubstantiated claim to deceive consumers into believing that a company’s products are environmentally friendly or have a greater positive environmental impact than is true.
In our consumer-goods driven society, we feel that it is important that companies are held responsible for placing defective, or mislabeled goods in the hands of consumers. When dangerous goods do end up being sold to consumers, the manufacturer or seller should be held responsible.
California provides robust protections for consumers under its warranty laws, ensuring that products are fit for their intended use and providing remedies if they are not. The combination of implied and express warranties, along with federal protections, offers a comprehensive framework to protect consumer rights and provide recourse in cases of defective products.
