Den gamla konsumentköplagen har kritiserats av hästnäringen eftersom den har ansetts vara mycket hämmande för näringsidkares möjligheter att sälja hästar till privatpersoner. Detta eftersom en häst enligt lagen är en lös sak, och i den tidigare konsumentköplagen särskilde lagstiftaren inte levande djur från övriga varor. Vilket innebar att näringsidkarna fick en oskäligt tung bevisbörda om en konsThe old consumer sales act has been criticized by the horse industry for restricting traders in their possibilities of selling horses to consumers.
