Question

Which one of the following is NOT a consumer right?

• A. Right to food
• B. Right to be informed
• C. Right to safety
• D. Right to redressal

Hint:

The 6 Statutory Consumer Rights (CPA): Safety, Information, Choice, Representation (Heard), Redressal, and Consumer Education.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
The Consumer Protection Act (CPA) and UN Guidelines for Consumer Protection codify statutory consumer rights.

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
The six statutory Consumer Rights codified under the Consumer Protection Act (1986 2019) are:
1. Right to Safety
2. Right to be Informed
3. Right to Choose
4. Right to be Heard
5. Right to seek Redressal
6. Right to Consumer Education.
While 'Right to Food' is a fundamental human right under constitutional international law, it is not one of the six designated statutory consumer protection rights.

Step 3: Final Answer:
Hence, Right to food is NOT a statutory consumer right, matching option (A).
