Protection from defective products and withdrawn from the market

As consumers and users we are constantly bombarded by advertisements and commercial proposals in all possible ways, that encourage us to buy certain products or services, presumably with numerous benefits for our daily lives.

However, we know very little about the serious dangers that some of these products may pose to our health and wellbeing. In fact there are very few occasions when the media echo the many cases that occur on consumers who suffer from some type of damage, personal or property, after using a product or service.

While the public authorities of different countries and their National Consumer conducted a research and monitoring, with regular withdrawals of certain products, by their nature, could be hazardous to the health of consumers, often these eventually reach the same, consummated harm.

It is precisely in the face of such cases so that the different legal systems provide for specific regulations to protect consumers and users, establishing itself as a general principle called the manufacturer or distributor (importer) for defects in products and services put in circulation.

It would mean, in case of personal or property damage be caused to them, their obligation to repair such damage caused.

Conflicting products and services

There are certain products and services that are starring in such cases of harm to consumers and users. Among others are:

- Articles for Children usually be made with toxic materials or small parts that they might end up accidentally swallowing.

- Food products.

- Correspondingly to the above, catering establishments, such as outbreaks of salmonellosis.

- Electronic products, failures in its components and possible short circuits.

- Automobiles and components, mainly due to its current high level of sophistication and strong competition among manufacturers is very common that they must call for review of vehicle models for possible flaws in design or manufacture.

- Drugs and herbal products. Some in particular, substances such as thinners, usually presented with special emphasis on these cases.

In any case, for that consumer who has suffered harm as a result of any of the above or other product or service, will open the possibility of filing a Tort Claim, through which you can receive adequate compensation its damage.

And if you prove the defective nature of all products of the same type, use the above authorities may order the withdrawal of the same market. And all with the aim that as users can feel safe when considering the acquisition of certain assets.
