  Article:   EU LAW ON DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS: ESSENTIAL ASPECTS OF PRODUCERS’ RESPONSIBILITY.

Authors:  JUANITA GOICOVICI. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  The article elaborates on essential aspects of producers’ responsibility for damages caused to consumers by defective products, as regulated by EU law in force, insisting on distinctions between physical injury and economic harms (a) and between “defective” and “non-defective” (safe) products (b), as well as on the burden and means of proof (c), as pillars of the type of liability discussed. A special attention is given to the criterion of consumer’s legitimate expectations and of foreseeable use of product (d), while delimiting defects due to design from manufacturing flaws and information defects (e).

Key words: EU Law; consumers’ protection; defective products; producers’ responsibility; consumers’ safety.
