Speaking in the House of Lords on 25 November 2024

Debate

Product Regulation and Metrology Bill [HL]

Contribution

Clause 1(5) already explains that use of products can include the storage, transportation, packaging, labelling or disposal of products—as well as, as we have discussed, more usual meanings of “use”, such as installation. This is critical to ensuring that we can protect businesses and consumers throughout a product’s life cycle. We must ensure that intolerable risks are mitigated in each step of the process, from design to disposal, and, if necessary, we can take action if an unsafe product ends up in the hands of users.
