Where Wisdom Meets Watchfulness
Michigan Consumer Protection logo
Consumer Protection Team
Consumer Protection
means having rules and actions in place to make sure the things you buy, or use are safe and fair.
Our team watches over products and services to make sure they're good for you, and to make sure nobody tricks you when you buy things.
This way, you can be confident that what you get is what you expect, and that you're treated fairly when you spend your money.
