CONSUMERS ARE BEING EXPLOITED IN THE MARKET PLACE IN DIFFERENT WAYS:
1)UNDER WEIGHING.MANY DISHONEST SHOPKEEPERS WEIGH LESS THAN THEY SHOULD.
2)ADULTERATION.AT TIMES ADULTERATED OR DEFECTIVE GOODS ARE SOLD IN THE MARKET.
3)ADDITIONAL CHARGES.SOMETIMES TRADERS ADD CHARGES THAT WERE NOT MENTIONED BEFORE.

PLS MARK IT AS BRAINLIEST!!

There are various ways in which a consumer gets exploited, few of which are mentioned below:

1. High Prices

Very often traders charge high prices from their consumers than the prescribed retail price.



2. Fake goods

It may sometimes happen that traders sell fake or duplicate goods in the name of genuine goods.


3. Substandard quality

The traders may cheat the consumers by degrading the quality of the product and selling those in the market like expired products, defective items.



4. Underweight and Under-measurements

The weight of the product that is being old may not be weighted correctly.


5. Impure and adulterated food items

Edible items like oil, ghee, and spices adulteration is made in order to earn higher profits. It causes huge damage to the consumers both financially and physically spoiling their health.


6. Lack of safety devices

Electronic goods may not be well equipped with proper safety measurements. This may cause accidents to consumers.


7. Incomplete information

Sometimes wrong information may be provided by the sellers which misleads the consumers. It may be in terms of price, quality, expiry date, reliability, life cycle, durability, effects on health, safety and security, terms and conditions of the product.


8. Unsatisfactory after-sale service

Many of the high cost durable items such as cars, electronic goods, home appliances require adequate after-sale service. The suppliers do not provide proper after-sale service which dissatisfies the consumers.


9. Environmental hazards

The suppliers may cause environmental hazards like air, noise, water pollution which poses environmental threats to the consumers.
