Himes Creates a New Consumer Protection Web Site

Bridgeport News, Saturday, May 22, 2010

U.S. Rep. Jim Himes launched a new consumer protection Web site as part of the 12th annual National Consumer Protection Week.

The site provides constituents with tools to follow recall campaigns, protect themselves against identity theft, and register for the Do Not Call List, along with links to information on other consumer protection topics.

The page can be found in the “How Can I Help You?” section of the congressman’s Web site at himes.house.gov.

National Consumer Protection Week encourages individuals across the country to take full advantage of their consumer rights. This year’s theme — “Dollars & Sense: Rated ‘A’ for All Ages” — highlighted the importance of using good consumer sense at every stage of life, from grade school to retirement.
