The origin and significance of 3.15

International Consumer Rights Day was established by Consumers International (CI) in 1983 to commemorate the "Four Consumer Rights" first proposed by US President John F. Kennedy on March 15, 1962: the right to safety, the right to know, the right to choose, and the right to appeal. China joined the organization in 1987 and gradually established March 15 as an important symbol of safeguarding consumer rights.
