Product Liability

Introduction

It is true that it had been substantially strenuous for consumers to repair/exchange/return faulty products with safety defects, or to receive compensation for damages in case of loss of lives/bodily injuries, or damages to property. This was due to the difficulties in demonstrating that such owed to “manufacturer’s negligence”, as required under the Civil Act. However, since the Product Liability Act took effect on July 1, 2002, consumers have been entitled to a higher level of remedies, only having to prove “defects in a product”, rather than “manufacturer’s negligence”.
