The current product liability law originated from the European Community Directive on Liability for Defective Products of 1985, adopted into English law by the Consumer Protection Act 1987. Before this act, product liability law was mainly based on court decisions. Manufacturers have a duty to provide safe products and accurate information on product use and associated risks.
