Guidelines to South American Consumer Protection Laws

By David B. Jaffe

Since 1990 a number of South American countries have either enacted or are in the process of adopting consumer protection statutory provisions. These statutes emphasize consumer transactional law including regulation of the terms of contracts relating to credit and other sales contracts. In addition, these provisions address consumer access to information, product warranties and redress for injuries caused by defective products. Of particular interest to foreign businesses are the provisions extending these standards to foreign manufacturers and exporters. This book provides both a country-by-country commentary on consumer protection provisions as well as the actual statutes in their original language accompanied by a side-by-English translation. South American Consumer Protection Laws is an essential resource for all lawyers, business executives, and consumer affairs consultants who are currently doing business in or planning to export products to South American countries.
