FIND OUT MOREPartner Sylvie Gallage-Alwis, and Senior Associates Alice Decramer, and Elias Boukachabine provide an overview of the consumer product recall process for foreign retailers, distributors, manufacturers, and suppliers of goods in France, discussing government regulation of recalls, voluntary recalls, required recall steps, consumer notices, and sanctions. Sylvie, Alice, and Elias' chapter was published in Practical Law, 27 August 2026, and can be found here.
The Practice Note discusses the legal and regulatory framework governing product recalls in France, including when recalls may be voluntary or mandatory, the role and powers of the relevant authorities, and reporting, disclosure and consumer notification requirements. It also examines industry-specific recall rules, consumer remedies, the treatment of recalled products, sanctions and product liability risks, as well as the particular considerations affecting imported products and foreign manufacturers.
With the GPSR now applying across the EU, businesses face enhanced obligations around recall communications, consumer remedies and product safety compliance. The guide offers practical insights to help businesses prepare for potential safety issues and manage recalls effectively.
