Consumers

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

In Louisiana, as in other states, a consumer is defined as an individual who acquires goods or services for personal, family, or household use. The state's consumer protection laws are designed to safeguard consumers from unfair and deceptive trade practices. These laws are outlined in the Louisiana Revised Statutes, particularly under Title 51 which deals with trade and commerce. The Louisiana Attorney General's Office is tasked with enforcing consumer protection laws and addressing complaints. Additionally, federal laws such as the Federal Trade Commission Act provide further protection against deceptive business practices on a national level. Consumers in Louisiana have the right to seek redress in court for violations of these laws and may also be entitled to certain remedies, including damages and injunctive relief.
