    If damage or injury is sustained from a particular product, the user may hold the manufacturer, authorized representative, agent or importer responsible. European legislation in the area of product liability allows users of products to claim damages as the result of an injury. All manufacturers, exporters and importers have a responsibility to ensure that the products they place on the market are safe. European product liability legislation provides instruments and enforcement for user who wants to claim damages.
    I did a start your own business course with Enterprise Ireland. One of the classes was with a solicitor who told us that. She said that the first to import the particular product into the EU can be held liable for defects causing injury or damage.

    Thinking back it may have only had something to do with FAS and the county enterprise board but I thought it was very good. There were modules on finance with an accountant, time management with a business man/shareholder of galway bay fm (maybe ex shareholder now). I think there may have been 1 or 2 other modules. All very practical, interesting and very good for asking questions and getting answers. It was all run over 3/4 days.

    It was completely free. I think it had something to do with fas aswell. They all gave email addresses and phone numbers if anyone wanted to follow up.

    As I said, I don't think it was enterprise Ireland as I previously thought.

    I would double check that with a solicitor again to make doublely sure but we grilled her pretty hard when she told us that so she seemed 100% without a doubt sure.
