A Consumer Protection Agency is there to enforce laws that protect buyer from unsafe business practices. For example, drug companies have had to pay damages, when they neglect to warn the public regarding a potential adverse side effect of their medication. Most of the time, the company will end up settling out of court, to avoid as much negative publicity as possible. In some cases, it results in the drug being pulled from the market. Sometimes, it simply means a label change, so pharmacies, doctors, and patients know the risks of a medication before it is ingested. If someone suffers injury or death, due to misinformation, or the lack thereof, the Consumer Protection Agency should be told.
