Definition of consumer rights. 1 Meaning of consumer rights. Consumption (or right of the consumer) is the name given to the set of rules emanating from public authorities aimed at the protection of the consumer or user in the market of goods and services, giving and regulating certain rights and obligations.
Examples of Consumer Rights. The most basic consumer right under consumer law revolves around warranties. The statutory product warranty, for example, is a law that requires all manufacturers to state that their products are fit specifically for consumer use. Other examples of consumer rights will permit individual buyers to cancel a specific contract, or obtain refunds for defective or un-wanted products. The ability to sue for damages, which is another bundle of fundamental consumer rights awarded to individual buyers, will vary based on jurisdiction.
