First Four Rights[edit]

What were the first four rights extolled in Kennedy's speech? This purports to show them, but the list has six rights under the heading "The Four Basic Rights".ScarySquirrel (talk) 11:45, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted the following[edit]

This seems to be original research:

The Right to Service

To convenience, to be treated with courtesy and respect, to responsiveness to needs and problems and to refuse any services offered.

Advertising

The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (1975) requires that a producer provide a warranty stating the standards of performance that the product will be held responsible to meet, and allows that warranty to be either stated explicitly or implied. With respect to advertising standards and consumer interaction with commercial producers, over forty US states have enacted "cooling-off" legislation that permits consumers to change their minds about the purchase of a product when dealing directly with a salesperson.

Financing

Before the passage of legislation providing protection against such injustices, the actual costs associated with loans were often hidden and near impossible for the average consumer to determine, leaving them at the mercy of their lenders. The Truth in Lending Act (1968) requires disclosure of any costs and interest rates pertaining to loans paid on installment in an effort to curb this corruption.
Laws and rights for the consumer do not rightly coincide with the rights.

Rename to "Eight Consumer Rights"?[edit]

The title "Consumer Bill of Rights" is uncommmon, if not incorrect. "Eight Consumer Rights" would be a much better title. I suggest renaming the article and adding a redirect. 219.93.191.225 (talk) 07:41, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This book

Glickman, Lawrence B. Buying power : a history of consumer activism in America (Paperback ed. ed.). Chicago: University of Chicago Press. ISBN 9780226298672. {{cite book}}: |edition= has extra text (help)

uses the term "Consumer's Bill of Rights" to refer to what Kennedy proposed. The term is in the appendix of the book and used in several places with discussion specifically about it. I also am thinking about the best name for this article. Blue Rasberry (talk) 15:39, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
