CFA Joins Public Interest Organizations Calling on Congress to Pass FAIR Act

CFA joined 40 other public interest groups calling for the U.S. House and Senate Judiciary Committees to take steps to pass the Forced Arbitration Injustice Repeal Act, H.R. 2953 and S.1376. The FAIR Act, sponsored by Rep. Hank Johnson (Ga.), and Sen. Richard Blumenthal (Conn.). This move comes after the Walt Disney Company's attempted use of its terms and conditions to deny the legal rights of its patrons harmed at a restaurant on its premises last month. "Powerful companies are working harder every day to stop the victims of their misconduct from holding them accountable," said Erin Witte, Director of Consumer Protection at Consumer Federation of America. "Congress should work just as hard to give power back to victims like the widower in this tragic case, and one of the best ways to do that is to immediately pass the FAIR Act."
