CFA and AELP Submit Petition to FTC for Renewed Click to Cancel Rulemaking
The Consumer Federation of America (CFA) and the American Economic Liberties Project (AELP) submitted a petition to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to renew its Click to Cancel regulation, which was vacated by the US Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit in July 2025. The FTC’s Click to Cancel rule was a crucial, commonsense regulation to protect consumers against a widespread deceptive practice that the Commission has targeted through its enforcement actions for years. The rule addresses the growing trend of companies trapping consumers in subscriptions with complicated cancellation terms by forcing companies to provide the same method to cancel a subscription as it provided to sign up.
