Discuss the arguments for and against the three main theories of a producers duties to the consumer?

Answer 1

Producers' Duties: Producers are obliged to place only safe products on the market. Within the limits of their respective activities, producers shall:

1.provide consumers with information to enable them to assess the risks inherent in a product throughout the normal or reasonably foreseeable period of its use, where such risks are not immediately obvious without adequate warnings, and to take precautions against those risks. Provision of such warnings does not, however, exempt any person from compliance with the other requirements in this Directive; and

2.adopt measures commensurate with the characteristics of the products that they supply, to enable consumers to be informed of risks that these products might present and to take appropriate action, including, if necessary, withdrawing the product in question from the market.

3.The measures include, for example, whenever appropriate:

*marking of the products or product batches in such a way that they can be identified;

*sample testing of marketed products; and

*investigating complaints made and keeping distributors informed of such monitoring.
