Boukzam Law focuses on Consumer Advocacy and Consumer Rights. In 1980, the Federal Trade Commission unleashed the ultimate consumer protection weapon against abusive and dishonest companies—The Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act 15 U.S.C.A. § 45(a)(1). This Federal law, aimed at protecting consumers from unfair or deceptive business practices, is mirrored by nearly every state in the United States and is upheld nationwide. State laws give great weight to the interpretations of the Federal Trade Commission and the federal courts relating to s. 5(a)(1) of the Federal Trade Commission Act, 15 U.S.C. s. 45(a)(1). These Consumer Protection Laws are designed to protect the consuming public and legitimate businesses from those who engage in unfair methods of competition, or unconscionable, deceptive, and unfair practices or acts in the conduct of trade or commerce. This statute empowers the FTC to take action against companies engaging in deceptive or unfair practices that can harm consumers or competition. Under this law, a practice is considered deceptive if it misleads consumers in a material way, meaning that the deception affects the consumer’s purchasing decisions.
This statute plays a vital role in maintaining fair market practices and ensuring that consumers are protected from fraud and deceit in the marketplace. They also provide additional protection for those most vulnerable in the marketplace—the consumer. The Act requires businesses to disclose detailed information about products to the consumer, such as, terms and conditions, rights to cancel, full disclosure of the extent of debt, and to choose other products or services without being pressured or misled. With this statute, consumers and businesses who have been victimized by unfair and deceptive practices, hold the right to redress injuries.
At Boukzam Law, we leverage the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act (FDUTPA) to safeguard consumers against misleading and unfair business practices. FDUTPA provides a robust legal framework for holding businesses accountable when they engage in deceptive or unethical conduct. This statute empowers us to pursue justice for our clients by addressing false advertising, fraudulent schemes, and other forms of exploitation. By utilizing FDUTPA, we can seek resolutions for affected consumers. Our commitment to enforcing this vital consumer protection law ensures that businesses operate transparently and fairly, ultimately fostering a marketplace where consumers can trust that their rights are respected and upheld.
