Product Liability

Several Norwegian acts and regulations govern product safety and product liability, many of which are influenced by, or harmonized with, corresponding EU directives. Parts of the regulations govern any kind of products (e.g. the Norwegian Product Control Act and the Norwegian Product Liability Act), while other parts govern specific product categories (e.g. food, toys or electrical appliances).
