Retailers and product safety – your responsibilities
Product safety law is fraught with dangers for those in the supply chain and is especially acute for those involved in retail, says Teresa Hitchcock. Failure to comply with legislation can lead to prosecution.
Further, there are a number of enforcement powers available to the regulatory authorities, which are backed up by sanctions in addition to prosecution where retailers fail to ensure that products which they placed on the market or supply for sale are safe.
Given the potential repercussions, retailers do need to ensure that they are aware of and meet their responsibilities with regard to product safety.
