On July 2, 2019, the Ministry of Justice published the Administrative Act # 618/19 that "Provides the procedure for communication of harmfulness or dangerousness of products and services after they were already placed in the market", in other words, the procedures to be adopted by the supplier in a recall.

The 6^th article of the Consumer Procedure Code (CDC) provides as consumer's basic rights the "safeguard of life, health and safety against risks caused by practices in the supply of products and services considered hazardous or harmful".

The Administrative Act # 618/19 complements the CDC dispositions, especially article 10, which addresses the situations where the supplier is aware of the harmfulness or dangerousness of a product or service after it was placed in the market.
