Product Liability Directive

The Product Liability Directive is a European law that holds manufacturers, importers, and sellers responsible if a defective product causes injury or damage to consumers or their property. It ensures that victims can seek compensation without needing to prove fault or negligence. The law covers issues like dangerous defects or improper warnings that make a product unsafe. Its goal is to protect consumers and promote safer products by assigning clear responsibility to those who put products on the market within the EU.
