Future environment seminars

  • Consumer products: safety and liability

  • Overview: The EU’s regulation of consumer product safety has tightened dramatically in recent years, and further developments are in the pipeline following 2007’s ‘summer of recalls’. At the same time, proposed reforms to facilitate consumers’ access to justice will increase litigation risk for businesses operating in the consumer products sector.

    This seminar will provide you with the lowdown on future developments in the product safety regime from Maija Laurila, Deputy Head of Unit, Product and Service Safety, Health and Consumers Directorate General, and with our own views of how class action and litigation funding reform are likely to affect consumer litigation.

    Registration for the seminar will commence 30 minutes before the start, with lunch available. Refreshments will be available after the seminar, giving the opportunity to continue discussions in a more informal environment. Please note that 1.5 CPD points are available.
