Consumer protection laws in many countries establish absolute liability (without fault) for product quality without much potential for protection. For example, under Article 1095 of the RF Civil Code, damage to a person’s life, health or property, or a legal entity's property due to defects in the design or contents of a product, contractor error, or inaccurate or insufficient information about a product or service must be compensated by the seller or manufacturer of the good, or the person who performed the work or rendered the service, regardless of whether or not he or she is guilty and whether or not the victim was in a contractual relationship with them. Furthermore, any victim of harm caused by a defective product must be compensated, at the option of the injured, by the seller or manufacturer (i.e., anyone who owns the product in the distribution chain).
Even those who maintain good quality control, comply with occupational safety and health standards and use appropriate product quality testing methods can be held liable for damage to the life, health or property of third parties:
