Legal Definitions - UTPCPL

UTPCPL

UTPCPL stands for Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law. This law is designed to protect consumers from businesses that engage in unfair or deceptive practices.

• A company that sells a product with false advertising, such as claiming it can cure a disease when it cannot, would be violating UTPCPL.
• A car dealership that sells a used car without disclosing that it has been in a major accident would also be violating UTPCPL.

These examples illustrate how UTPCPL protects consumers from businesses that engage in dishonest or misleading practices. By holding businesses accountable for their actions, UTPCPL helps ensure that consumers can make informed decisions and are not taken advantage of by unscrupulous companies.
