New Directive on Product Liability in the EU
December 6, 2024
Starting Sunday, December 8, a new European directive on liability for defective products will come into effect across EU member states. This directive aims to enhance consumers' ability to seek compensation for damages caused by such products. The rules will also cover products sold online and ease the burden of proof for victims. Additionally, there are plans for a public database containing court decisions on product liability to inform the public better.
