A consumer is a person who purchases goods or services for personal use.
In Oklahoma, 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 business practices. These laws are enforced by the Oklahoma Attorney General's Office through the Consumer Protection Unit. The Oklahoma Consumer Protection Act (Title 15, Oklahoma Statutes, Section 751 et seq.) outlines specific rights and remedies available to consumers who have been subjected to deceptive trade practices. Additionally, federal laws such as the Federal Trade Commission Act provide further protections against unfair business practices on a national level. Consumers in Oklahoma have the right to seek redress in court and may also file complaints with the Oklahoma Attorney General's Office or the Federal Trade Commission if they believe their consumer rights have been violated.
