Abstract

Commitment to inform or warn about dangerous products plays a decisive role in building and intensifying the legal awareness of individuals in the field of consumption of these products and that the necessity of providing accurate and comprehensive warning and information on the packages and information accompanying the product may enable consumers to understand the possible side effects, and the recommended uses and doses. There is no doubt that this clear understanding allows individuals to make responsible decisions about the use of this product and adhere to the instructions provided. It also enhances their ability to recognize defective or counterfeit products and avoid using them, and thus will protect them from health and legal risks, in addition to that, because it inspires an element of trust. Among contractors, the commitment to providing transparent and accurate information increases consumers’ confidence in professionals, suppliers, and manufacturers of these products, which enhances positive and responsible interaction by consumers in the product market. For these reasons, most legislation imposes the obligation to inform or warn in the field of dangerous products, and that Breach of this duty entails civil liability for the producer or seller, which shall be imposed in the event of a violation of this obligation and shall be decided in the interest of the injured party.
