“…61 The foundations of China's product liability system also seem to echo the findings of a survey of Asia-Pacific countries which found that the European product liability system was the central model for reform, with the US viewed as an outlier. 62 China is thus converging with regional norms in this field, as well as being broadly in line with global trends. Examining product liability norms from a regional perspective also highlights the relative futility of dividing the relevant jurisdictions into civil law and common law 'families'; in the product liability arena, these distinctions are not useful as there is a great deal of consensus around fundamental norms.…”

Following the enactment of the 2009 Tort Liability Law, the product liability system in China is largely complete. This article sketches the development of this system before outlining some of the main substantive provisions in force today and drawing comparisons between the Chinese approach and the US and European provisions. The Article will conclude that China's product liability system provides an interesting case study which enriches the study of global trends and norms in the product liability arena. In line with many other countries, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, the main influence on China has been the EC Directive rather than the US model.

Consumers have legal redress for any harm brought on by a faulty product under product liability law. According to estimates, faulty items have a detrimental impact on millions of individuals throughout the world, and the sellers or producers wind up shelling out a sizable sum for products-liability insurance as well as damages. A product must satisfy a consumer's reasonable expectations, thus it is the duty of the producers and the buyers to guarantee the product's safety and quality in accordance with its description. A modest way of life and locally produced goods meant that anybody who experienced harm from a faulty product could deal with the maker directly without the need for legal action or government regulation. However, owing to the growth in problems emerging from faulty goods, changes in the instruments of production and consumption, such as the industrial revolution and technical advancements, among others, have led to the establishment of products-liability law. To safeguard the rights of its customers and the general public at large, India is recognising and realising the need of developing and implementing a strong product liability framework. In specifically, the article addresses the importance of product liability and professional indemnity insurance plans in India as well as some significant developments and their impact on liability insurance. The Act's whole chapter devoted to product liability provides insight into the anticipated effect on liability insurance.
