Consumers

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

In Kansas, as in other states, a consumer is defined as an individual who acquires goods or services primarily for personal, family, or household purposes. This definition is in line with the Kansas Consumer Protection Act (KCPA), which provides a legal framework to safeguard consumers against deceptive and unconscionable practices by suppliers in the sale, lease, or rental of goods and services. The KCPA outlines the rights of consumers and the obligations of businesses, and it is enforced by the Kansas Attorney General's office. Consumers in Kansas are also protected under various federal laws, such as the Federal Trade Commission Act and the Consumer Product Safety Act, which prohibit unfair or deceptive business practices and ensure the safety of consumer products, respectively.
