Consumers are exploited in the market in a number of ways. Individual consumers often find themselves in a difficult situation to protect their interests. Certain rules and regulations are, therefore, required for the markets to work in a fair manner, where the producers are few and powerful and consumers are scattered and purchase in small quantities. Some examples showing exploitation of consumers are:
