Stressing on the importance of consumer rights he emphasized that consumers should not only focus on their rights but also try and think about consumer responsibilities which are equally important. He said that information enhances our awareness and knowledge of our rights and responsibilities. Armed with information, consumers can make good choices and wise decisions. He highlighted that consumer safety is another aspect which needs to be given due attention and especially children should take due care of safety instructions on products while purchasing and using products.
