It should, I would assume. But for some reason, it seems nobody is enforcing consumer protections like they used to.

Pretty soon they'll take the stickers off mowers warning people to not put their hand under it while it's running.

The world isn't in a good place...

I'll preface this by saying that I don't agree with how things are working currently. But, the way the existing protections get enforced is by an individual or group of individuals filing lawsuits.

Our regulatory agencies have either been completely gutted by DOGE, or just no longer have an appetite to do any kind of proactive enforcement, so its now up to the victims who have been wronged to bring the violation to the attention of the courts/regulatory bodies responsible for enforcement.

Part of me feels like this is intentional and by design, because bringing suit is an expensive and time consuming process and naturally locks out the people harmed the most by these violations. Its the same method by which slumlords/bad landlords get away with so many blatant violations of the various landlord/tenant laws; their tenants can't afford the lawsuits and the lawyers to protect themselves.

The legal system needs to be made much more accessible, but I'm not sure how that happens or what that looks like.
