It's a good thing there is such a law in general. I didn't even know about it. In my country, the consumers' rights are not that protected. The government isn't spending any means or efforts in this respect.
If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did."

It's also being called World Consumer Rights Day. According to Kennedy, consumers' basic rights are:

- the right to safety
- the right to be informed
- the right to choose
- the right to be heard.

good things you mentioned this. Often we are fooled in stores and sellers pretend they are correct, forgetting the famous and unchangeable phrase that "The customer is always right". Protect and don't allow them disregard your rights. The law is on your side, bear in mind.

Consumer Day must be every day. Every store and every seller must have a big note placed on the wall - "The customer is always right". Happily EU provides enough protection to products, so that the final consumer gets a maximally safe one.

It's interesting for me how many people knows that there is such a day? how many people eat and have a healthy lifestyle! how many do not drink and smoke ... we probably get enough fingers to count them

The largest air carriers in Poland do not act in conformity with the law – the OCCP started 22 proceedings in this respect. On the World Consumer Day the Office is reminding the passengers about their rights and draws their attention to unfair practices of the entrepreneurs
