    ABSTRACT
    Ethical issues related to consumers are a widely discussed and criticized issue in the business and
    academic arenas of the world. Based on personal judgments and analysis of different secondary
    data, this paper has attempted to explore the unethical issues related to consumers and the
    consequences of the same on the consumers as well as the business organizations. The main
    arguments for ethics related to consumers were- unethical behavior through providing unsafe
    products, deception and unfairness in advertising, price fixing etc.with their customers. In some
    cases, business organizations were found to deviate from their basic philosophy of the protection
    of consumers’ interest. The findings of the study have important implications for the business
    people and consumers. In addition, the paper suggests consumers some measures to get rid of
    unethical practices.

    KEY WORDS: consumer, due care theory, ethics, product safety.
