There are no real disadvantages to consumers with the act as it covers transactions including loans, goods, and services.
Consumer programs typically perform functions such as educating consumers about their rights and responsibilities, and advocating for fair practices in the marketplace. These programs often provide resources and information to help consumers make informed decisions and navigate potential issues with products or services. Additionally, they may facilitate dispute resolution between consumers and businesses to ensure accountability and compliance with consumer protection laws.

Australian Consumer Law (ACL) is a national law that aims to protect consumers and ensure fair trading in the marketplace. It outlines the rights and responsibilities of consumers and businesses, covering issues such as misleading conduct, unfair trading practices, and product safety. The ACL provides consumers with guarantees regarding the quality and suitability of goods and services, and it is enforced by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) and state consumer protection agencies. Overall, ACL fosters a fair and informed marketplace for both consumers and businesses.
The CPSC establishes the agency, defines its basic authority, and provides that when the CPSC finds an unreasonable risk of injury associated with a consumer product it can develop a standard to reduce or eliminate the risk.
