Further Explanation:

Consumer protection is a practice which protects its customers from unfair practices and competitions that take place in the markets. The measures of consumer protection are often established by the law and they are also many times undertaken by non-governmental agencies or organizations. These laws are designed to prevent consumers from any kind of fraud or unfair prices on certain goods or products.  

Consumer protection laws are linked to the idea of consumer rights and that has led to the birth of the various organizations which are consumer-centric. These organizations help consumers to make better choices and if any consumer is unsatisfied with the dealing of any dealer then he can complain against that dealer in these organizations. Some of the consumer-centric organizations in the world are, Federal Trade Commission which is based in America and Better Business Bureau which is headquartered in Canada.
