The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China is delighted to invite you to a seminar on Product Liability in China on 2nd April at the Sofitel Galaxy.
The development of product liability law in China is in its early stages. Nevertheless, laws in China are now granting consumers the right to bring claims against domestic and foreign retailers and manufacturers. This event will provide in-depth and practical information regarding both the legal frameworks and the operational implications for managing product liability.
