The Egyptian Consumer Protection Law

The Consumer Protection Law in Egypt, Law No. 67 of 2006, serves as a protective shield for consumers against unfair trade practices. The law encompasses all goods and services used for personal, family, or household purposes. It’s designed to ensure that consumers are treated fairly, receive accurate information about products and services, and have access to redress mechanisms for disputes.

Your Rights as a Consumer

What exactly are your rights as a consumer in Egypt? There’s a comprehensive list:

  1. Right to Safety: You’re entitled to protection against products, production processes, and services that may cause harm or injury.
  2. Right to Information: You have the right to receive factual and honest information about the nature and quality of goods and services.
  3. Right to Choose: You’re free to select from a range of products and services, at competitive prices.
  4. Right to Redress: If your consumer rights are violated, you have the right to receive fair settlement of just claims, including compensation for misrepresentation, shoddy goods, or unsatisfactory services.

Consumer Protection Agency (CPA)

Understanding Consumer Protection Laws in Egypt

Consumer protection laws primarily aim to safeguard the rights of consumers and ensure a fair, equitable marketplace.

However, understanding these laws can be tricky but fear not; H&Z Law Firm is here to help you navigate these legal waters.

Unpacking Your Consumer Rights

Before we dive in, let’s break down your consumer rights. Under the law, you’re entitled to several key protections:

  • Truthful Information: You have the right to receive accurate and clear details about any goods or services you purchase.
  • Quality Assurance: The products you purchase should be safe and of high quality.
  • Freedom of Choice: You should have the liberty to choose freely among the available goods and services.

These entitlements serve as the pillars of consumer protection laws, ensuring you, the consumer, are treated with fairness and respect
