What is the primary focus of the CPA?

The primary focus of the Consumer Protection Act (CPA) is to protect consumers. This legislation is designed to shield consumers from unfair, deceptive, or fraudulent practices in the marketplace. It seeks to ensure that consumers are provided with clear and accurate information about products and services, allowing them to make informed decisions. The CPA establishes rights for consumers and sets out the obligations of businesses to uphold those rights. By focusing on consumer protection, the CPA instills confidence in the marketplace, ensuring that consumers are treated fairly and that their interests are safeguarded against harmful practices.
