Swedish Consumer Agency

Swedish Consumer Agency

Swedish Consumer Agency ("Konsumentverket") is a Swedish government agency that answers to the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Consumer Affairs. The agency is located in Stockholm.

The agency, with a staff of around 180, provides the Swedish general public with consumer affairs assistance, acting in the collective interest of consumers. It is active in the fields of advertising and contract terms, consumer information, product safety, product quality and environmental impact. The task of resolving individual consumer disputes, however, is handled by the Swedish National Board for Consumer Complaints.
