Q: Does Ohio's Consumer Sales Practices Act apply to businesses, not just individuals, in Akron?

A: Yes, the CSPA's protections generally extend to both individual consumers and businesses making a consumer-type purchase, and you don't have to have completed a purchase to be protected from a deceptive statement.

Consumer Protection Attorney in Akron, OH

Ohio's Consumer Sales Practices Act (CSPA) protects Akron-area consumers from unfair or deceptive practices in a consumer transaction — including misrepresenting a product or service's quality, and unconscionable acts like a supplier knowingly taking advantage of a consumer's inability to understand what they're agreeing to. The CSPA allows a consumer to rescind (cancel) the transaction or recover up to three times their damages, plus statutory damages, economic and non-economic damages, and reasonable attorney's fees where the law permits.
