## The Legal Framework of Product Safety

The safety of consumer products in Georgia is regulated by a dedicated instrument — the Product Safety and Free Circulation Code. This act creates the system of obligations that binds manufacturers and distributors with respect to products placed on the market: placing only safe products, warning consumers about risks, supplying information, and compensating harm caused by a defective product. The sixth, ninth, eleventh and twelfth articles of the Code rest precisely on these four pillars.

For consumers and businesses alike this framework has practical significance: it determines who answers for harm, what information must be given to the consumer, and how the manufacturer must act when a risk emerges in a product after it has been placed on the market.

### What does the Code require when placing products on the market?

The manufacturer must place only safe products and, within its competence, warn consumers of the risks the product contains.

### What happens if the manufacturer cannot be traced?

The person who actually placed the product on the market is deemed the manufacturer, unless within a reasonable period it notifies the injured person of the real manufacturer's or supplier's whereabouts.

### May a defective product be sold?

Only where the supplier has clearly informed the consumer that the product is defective.

### Does a guarantee release from liability?

No — a guarantee does not release a person from the liability for causing harm established by the Code.
