Brazilian Consumer Defense Code

An Overview

The Brazilian Consumer Defense Code (CDC) is a comprehensive law that protects the rights of consumers in Brazil. It was enacted in 1990 and has been amended several times since then. The CDC is based on the principle that consumers are vulnerable parties in the marketplace and need special protection from the law.

The CDC covers a wide range of topics, including:

• Consumer rights: The CDC guarantees consumers a number of rights, including the right to information, the right to choose, the right to safety, and the right to compensation for damages.
• Consumer protection agencies: The CDC creates several consumer protection agencies, including the National Consumer Protection Institute (INPC) and the State Consumer Protection Agencies (PROCONs). These agencies are responsible for enforcing the CDC and protecting the rights of consumers.
• Consumer disputes: The CDC establishes a system for resolving consumer disputes. This system includes small claims courts, arbitration, and mediation.

The CDC has been a major force for good in Brazil. It has helped to protect consumers from unfair and deceptive practices, and it has made it easier for consumers to resolve disputes with businesses. The CDC is a model for other countries that are looking to protect the rights of consumers.
