I cannot provide you a 500 word essay but you can develop
on the following points to create it.
Producers have an
obligation to only sell safe products to their consumers. For each activity that a
producer undertakes, they have to:
1. Provide their consumers with the right
information that will enable them to assess the risks that may be inherent in the use of
a product through its normal period of use. The consumer should know about all the risks
when without warnings from the producer they are not apparent. Even providing these
warnings does not absolve the producer from selling products that may be dangerous and
injurious to the consumers.
2. Producers should adopt measures that are
commensurate with the characteristics of the products they supply; which would enable
consumers to be informed of risks that accompany the products and also take appropriate
action, when necessary, by withdrawing products from the market.
3. Some
measures to be adopted include:
- proper marking
of products or product batches so they can be identified
- doing adequate sample testing of products before they
are sold - dealing with complaints of consumers and keeping
distributors informed of what they should do in such
cases
In addition producers have the
responsibility to price their products appropriately and not try to misuse in any way
situations where their product has a high demand, is essential or the producer enjoys a
monopoly.
