The salesperson, after a rather aggressive presentation, convinced Sue to order a 1,200 Deluxe Encyclopedia set for her two children. Sue was impressed with the quality of the books, but shortly after signing the contract, she realized that she could not really afford to make the required monthly payments. What rights, if any, does Sue have in this situation?

Answer to Question 1

Sue has the legal right to rescind this contract within three (3 ) business days. This right is not contingent on any defect in the goods or any misrepresentation on the part of the salesperson. Sue simply has the right to change her mind. The purpose of this protection is to allow consumers a chance to cool off from an aggressive, overly-persuasive sales presentation.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
