Easy Returns Act

The "Easy Returns Act" aims to simplify the return process for consumers by requiring certain sellers to include a physical return label with every physical good delivered. This mandate applies specifically to sellers who employed at least 500 employees in the preceding year, ensuring that larger businesses facilitate easier returns for their customers. However, there are specific limitations to this requirement, including sales of perishable goods not typically returned, items that are custom-made or personalized preventing resale, or when the seller offers an equally accessible and convenient return method, such as a cost-free at-home pickup service . The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is directed to issue regulations within 180 days and will enforce compliance, treating any violation as an unfair or deceptive act or practice under existing law. These provisions will become applicable to sales occurring one year after the bill's enactment.
