1994 A general duty is placed on all suppliers of consumer goods. They must supply products that are safe in normal or reasonably foreseeable use. Safety takes into account factors such as the product’s characteristics, instructions and warnings and the categories of consumers at serious risk when using the product, particularly children. Relevant British or European standards can be taken into account in assessing safety. Breaches are punishable by fines and/or imprisonment. GPSR largely replaces the general safety requirement under Consumer Protection Act 1987 (s.10).
