A growing number of countries recognise a direct producers' liability for non-conforming goods. The European Commission has considered the introduction of an EU-wide direct producers' liability for a long time. Will there be new responsibilities for producers in the future?

This book compiles national reports from 24 European countries on the sale of goods law as well as the consumer's remedies for non-conforming goods and the final seller's right of redress. A comparative report informs about the different models of producers' liability and their impact on the internal market.

Beneficial for practitioners working in the field of consumer contract law and sale of goods law.

"Insgesamt handelt es sich um ein Werk, das nicht nur Länderberichte zur Umsetzung einer Richtlinie zusammenträgt, sondern einen darüber hinausgehenden vergleichenden und rechtspolitischen Mehrwert hat. Es ist für die Praxis wie Wissenschaft unbedingt lesenswert."
(Olaf Deinert in The European Legal Forum, Issue 3/2009)
