Abstract

The General Product Safety Directive has been radically amended once and is now subject to a further consultation about reform. This paper argues that the Directive has been refined over the years and an increased emphasis is now being given to enforcement. As well as tracking the principle development it is argued this has been a good model for reform and finally it is contrasted with the lack of activity in the field of product liability.
