Abstract

The principle of product responsibility is a legal instrument that is intended to provide assurance of the guarantee of consumer rights, especially for the right to safety, health, and the right to compensation. This regulation is indispensable due to regulation of production control (quality control techniques) and trade in goods, is currently felt to be inadequate to prevent or avoid and protect consumers who suffer losses, both losses in the form of defects or damage to the consumer's personal injury to the loss of life, property damages, and damage related to the product itself (pure economic loss), considering the importance of product responsibility principles, especially for consumers, the problem in this paper is whether Consumer Protection Laws can be used in a lawsuit responsibility of consumer products for business actors. Finding facts to these problems, normative legal research methods are used. Thus, the conclusion of the Consumer Protection Laws is purely unenforceable for claims of consumer product responsibility to business actors.
