Deceptive trade practices involve misleading information, unfounded claims, and various strategies designed to deceive consumers into purchasing products or services. A common example is a used car dealer manipulating an odometer to advertise a lower mileage falsely. While California has not implemented the Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act, it enforces specific statutes that outlaw false advertising and odometer fraud.
Consumers often face injuries from defective products or unsafe foods, and these incidents fall under "product liability." In these cases, consumers rely on the integrity and safety measures of manufacturers and retailers. Consumer protection agencies play an essential role in safeguarding American consumers from these risks.
