Consumer Protection Assignment - FINA 2244

Please choose three specific consumer protection issues involving products or services from one of the websites listed below:

The Consumer Product Safety Commission:

http://www.cpsc.gov

The Food and Drug Administration:

http://www.fda.gov/

The Federal Trade Commission:

http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/index.shtml

For example, you might choose to examine three different product recalls from the CPSC or FDA. After you carefully review the website's treatment of the issues, please write a two page minimum paper addressing the following questions:

1. What product or service is involved in each issue?
2. What is the public interest in each situation that requires protection?
3. In your opinion, is this the best way to protect the public's interest?
4. What effect will this have on any business entities involved?
5. Does the agency treat the three issues differently? Are there good reasons for the differing treatment?

Please submit your paper by uploading it in Canvas in .docx form.
