It's a good thing there is such a law in general. I didn't even know about it. In my country, the consumers' rights are not that protected. The government isn't spending any means or efforts in this respect.

It's also being called World Consumer Rights Day. According to Kennedy, consumers' basic rights are:
- the right to safety
- the right to be informed
- the right to choose
- the right to be heard.
