What Are Your Rights Under: 

The Consumer Legal Remedies Act (CLRA)

The CLRA, codified in California Civil Code Sections 1750-1784, is a vital tool in safeguarding consumer rights. This law prohibits a wide range of deceptive, unfair and fraudulent business practices, including but not limited to:

​

  • Misrepresenting a product or service 

  • Passing off goods or services as those of another

  • Misrepresenting the source, sponsorship, approval, or certification of goods or services

  • Misrepresenting the affiliation, connection, or association with, or certification by, another

  • Using deceptive representations or designations of geographic origin – like false made in the USA representations

  • Misrepresenting that goods or services have sponsorship, approval, characteristics, ingredients, uses, or benefits

  • Misrepresenting that goods are of a particular standard, quality, or grade, or that goods are new

  • Advertising goods or services with the intent not to sell them as advertised

  • Misrepresenting the existence of, or amounts of price reductions

  • Misepresenting that a transaction confers or involves rights, remedies, or obligations that it does not have or involve, or that are prohibited by law

  • Misrepresenting that a part, replacement, or repair service is needed 

  • Inserting an unconscionable provision in the contract
