Consumer safety and product liability
Consumer safety goes beyond the protection of the consumers' and the environment's health to include hazards to ancillary equipment, facilities, production personnel, shippers and distributors, etc.
How would you design, produce, market and support a product to protect Consumer safety and eliminate/reduce product liability?
- Consider flammability, handling dangers, polluting, etc.
- Provide information for consumers on how to install, use and maintain the product in order to minimize its impact on the environment, ensure optimal life expectancy and promote recommended safe usage
- Design and test for compliance to applicable safety requirements demanded by law, municipalities and consumers
How would you structure your business to protect Consumer safety and eliminate/reduce product liability?
- Review all laws, standards and policies which may effect your product
- Establish a management system to establish conformity (set up design control and track the process and results; fine tune to improve)
- Provide information for treatment facilities concerning disassembly, recycling, reclamation or disposal at end-of-life.
- Establish a process to monitor litigation danger areas
