Abstract:
The Algerian legislator has put in place a legal framework in order to protect the consumer against the risks of manufactured products, by enacting a set of proactive preventive rules aimed at warding off risks before damage occurs. These rules contained a number of foundations that carry a set of obligations that stakeholders must meet in order to avoid the risks of manufactured products. To implement this preventive approach, the Algerian legislator has set up a set of preventive mechanisms which are reflected in the supervisory bodies and officers who have numerous prerogatives guaranteeing the consumer the obtaining of safe and risk-free products. In addition to these preventive rules, the Algerian legislator adopted subsequent protectionist rules, some of which are of a therapeutic nature, aimed at repairing the damage and ensuring compensation for the victims, and this appears in the approval of the provisions which govern the civil liability of the intervener; others are punitive in
nature, aimed at repressing everything that affects consumer safety, manifesting itself in the criminalization of acts which establish the penal responsibility of the intervener.
