Marketing ethics & consumer
rights:
The laws & regulations are generally
designed to protect the consumer from
unethical practices by businesses.
These laws recognize that consumers have
certain basic rights in the market place.
Some unethical practices are just one step
short of being unlawful & are therefore
overlooked by the regulatory agencies.
