Manufacturer Liability In Modern Commercial Practice

1. Introduction

The transformation of production processes that began with the Industrial Revolution has accelerated through globalization, resulting in today's multi-layered and complex supply chains. As products are placed on both national and international markets, product safety and compensation for damage arising from defective products have gained even greater significance.

In Türkiye, the primary piece of legislation governing manufacturers' obligations is the Law No. 7223 on Product Safety and Technical Regulations ("the Law"). The Law applies to all types of products placed on the Turkish market and imposes extensive responsibilities on manufacturers, importers, distributors, and other relevant actors.
