Abstract

Regulation 2023/988, of May 10, on general product safety, allows economic operators to request the return of unsafe products that are marked. When they ask consumers to return these products, consumers can exercise rights, such as the repair of the good, its replacement or the reimbursement of certain amounts, under the terms provided in article 37 of the Regulation. This article examines this precept, and analyzes each of these measures, its legal regime, the subjects with active and passive legitimacy, and the relationship they have with the remedies for non-conformity regulated in articles 114 et seq. of the TRLGDCU.
