A consumer is a person who purchases goods or services for personal use.

In Florida, a consumer is generally defined as an individual who purchases goods or services primarily for personal, family, or household purposes. This definition aligns with the broader federal understanding as outlined in various consumer protection laws, such as the Federal Trade Commission Act. Florida's consumer protection laws are designed to safeguard consumers from unfair and deceptive business practices. The Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act (FDUTPA) is a key state statute that provides a legal framework for addressing consumer complaints and allows for civil remedies if a consumer has been subjected to unfair methods of competition, or unconscionable, deceptive, or unfair acts or practices in the conduct of any trade or commerce. Additionally, Florida has specific regulations for certain types of consumer transactions, such as those related to telemarketing, consumer leases, and credit and finance charges, which are intended to provide further protections to consumers in the state.
