Consumer protection laws — including Florida's Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act (FDUPTA) and the federal FTC Act — empower governments and private parties to sue businesses that mislead or harm consumers. State attorneys general can bring enforcement actions, seek civil penalties, and obtain injunctions without proving individual harm. The FDUPTA imposes penalties of up to $10,000 per violation. State AGs have used consumer protection law to regulate tobacco companies, opioid manufacturers, and social media platforms, and are now testing whether the same framework reaches AI product developers.
