result operates to the detriment of the consumer, the very party whom the regulations
are designed to protect.
These burdens must be weighed against the interest in protecting consumers
against fraud and undue health and safety hazards. To assume that businesses will
voluntarily disclose negative product information ignores the fact that businesses are
motivated by profit, not by public interest concerns. However, consumers today have
ready access to many consumer-protection resources, and may not need the protection
of government regulation. Although health and safety concerns are especially
compelling in the case of products that are inherently dangerous―power tools,
recreational equipment, and the like―or new and relatively untested products,
especially pharmaceuticals, narrow exceptions can always be carved out for these
products.
In conclusion, while stringent disclosure requirements may be appropriate for
certain products, businesses and consumers alike are generally better off without the
burdens imposed by requiring that businesses provide complete product information to
all customers.
