cause them losses. The researcher applied normative research method. This research shows that

Consumers sometimes do not get the goods they have bought as advertised through the
commercials; as an example, the products might not be suitable for use, and in some cases,
consumers might be harmed. This study concludes that the responsibility of producers to
consumers on defective products is to compensate the losses suffered by consumers due to their
