Role of producers in protecting consumer rights?

of producers

A producer is a person who manufactures or sells a good or delivers a service.

In pure capitalism the only role for producers in protecting consumer rights is to do what is necesaary to protect their profit. The producer makes a product and then sells the product to the consumer for the highest price possible.

Now we don't live in a pure capitalism. There are checks and balances on producers. In our society producers can be sued if they produce a defective product which harms a consumer. There are also governmental regulations on producers as to pollution they create, size of their factories, and many other areas. This is why there are several governmental and private agencies which maintain a vigilance over industry.

Many products which are recalled are replaced by the producer at no cost or a very minor cost to the consumer. Without replacing a recalled product the producer risks losing the consumer and thus must make every effort to maintain the customer.

Consumer exploitation is totally in the hands of producers, the producer determines the behavior, quality of product. Right information, trust for product qualityafter sale service and safety to the consumer.

Producers can help in fair trade in the following ways

1.proper labeling, full information, health warnings, handling information, expiration date, etc. keep to requirements, norms, standards

2.labelproducts according requirements, providing true facts

3.If they are providing a service they should carry it out with due skill and care. They must also make sure that any materials they provide as part of this service are fit for the purpose.

4.It is also illegal for a supplier to cut off, or threaten to cut off, supply to a reseller (wholesale or retail) because they have been discounting goods or advertising discounts below prices set by the supplier.

5. And last, to be fair in selling products to the buyers and make the consumer feel that he/she is not being cheated
