Overview
The marketplace for goods and services doesn't always adequately protect consumers from unsafe, shoddy or over-priced products. Ideally, market forces should ensure that products are priced fairly, that consumers have adequate choices and that consumer health and safety is guaranteed when they buy consumer goods or use services.
When such market failure occurs, consumers need adequate standards to protect them from price manipulation and from unsafe products or services.
WISPIRG stands up to the powerful interests to push for safe products and services and to preserve the market forces that can truly benefit consumers.
