March 7-13, 2010 marks the 12th annual National Consumer Protection Week (NCPW). The campaign aims to encourage individuals across the country to take full advantage of their consumer rights.
This year's theme, 'Dollars & Sense: Rated "A" For All Ages,' will highlight the importance of using good consumer sense throughout all life stages. The NCPW website at www.consumer.gov/ncpw features a blog where visitors can discover new consumer resources in an informal and interactive setting. Blog topics include 'For Kids,' 'Health' and 'Money.' Visitors will also have the opportunity on the site to connect with representatives of participating public and private consumer protections organizations. To help introduce youngsters 12 years of age and under to consumer and business concepts, the NCPW will feature various links and resources on their site for parents and their children. Featured videos and games could help younger visitors become more aware of key consumer concepts like credit and identity theft, banking and fraud, marketing and advertising.
For more information about the NCPW, go to www.consumer.gov/ncpw.
