Warning consumers involves proactively informing the public about potential risks, hazards, or misleading practices associated with products, services, or market behaviors. This strategy aims to prevent harm, reduce consumer vulnerability, and promote informed decision-making by issuing clear alerts, labels, or advisories. By equipping consumers with timely, accurate information, it remedies problems such as unsafe products, fraud, and misinformation, thereby enhancing consumer protection and market transparency.This information has been generated by artificial intelligence.
