Guide to the Consumer Protection Act 1987 UK Product Liability and Safety Provisions
Every day of our lives， we consume, use, or simply come into contact with countless
different products. We should be able to assume that those products are safe. Not absolutely safe - that remains unattainable. Nor safe at unbearable cost to industry - that would put innovation at risk. But as safe as is reasonable is to expect. The aim of the Consumer Protection Act is to help safeguard the consumer from products that do not reach a reasonable level of safety.
Clearly the consumer gains from this legislation. But forward-looking firms will also recognize that it is in their interest to outlaw unfair competition from traders who cut corners on safety. The Act is important to all those with an interest in the safety of products that are put onto the market.
Part I of the Act, which implements into UK law the provisions of the Product Liability Directive (85/374/EEC), came into force on 1 May 1988.
Although Part I applies in Great Britain only, equivalent provision for Northern
Ireland was made by Order in Council. Part I of the Act, and the Northern Ireland Order, excepted primary agricultural products and game (i.e. food sold in its raw state) from the scope of the legislation. However, Directive 1999/34/EC amended the 1985 Product Liability Directive by requiring the removal of this exception with effect from 4 December 2000. From this date food sold in its raw state is included in the legislation. This change was implemented in England and Wales - the Consumer Protection Act 1987 (Product Liability) (Modification) Order 2000 (Statutory Instrument 2000 No. 2771) Scotland - the Consumer Protection Act 1987 (Product Liability) (Modification) (Scotland) Order 2001 (Statutory Instrument 2001 No. 265) Northern Ireland - the Product Liability (Amendment) Act (Northern Ireland) 2001.
