Complying with Cuyahoga County Consumer Law

The Cuyahoga County Department of Consumer Affairs is responsible for enforcing the county’s Consumer Protection Code.

The Consumer Protection Code broadly prohibits companies from misleading consumers in order to make a sale. Businesses should make sure their advertising and sales practices comply with our Weights and Measures Code and Consumer Protection Code. Violations could result in penalties.

These free guides will help you comply with state and federal law and the county’s consumer protection code: 

• The Federal Trade Commission’s Business Center spells out federal laws on advertising, credit, privacy and sales of specific products.
• The Ohio Attorney General’s Office publishes a helpful guide on state law, “Complying with Ohio Consumer Law: A Guide for Businesses.”
