Driven by large product recalls and the perceived need for action by regulators, the United States, Canada, South Africa, China and numerous other countries have enacted, or are on the brink of enacting or amending, strict laws and regulations governing the manufacture, supply, sale, distribution, importation and advertising of consumer goods and services. This session will focus on: international supply arrangements and regulations; incident reporting requirements and the need for coordinated action at an international level; limitations in product disclaimers and increased options for consumer redress and remedies; and increased likelihood of product liability claims and the growth of class action litigation. The focus of the session will be on understanding the international impact, reach and interplay of national laws and regulations for consumer products and services.
