Producer liability is a civil liability system introduced by the Algerian legislator in 2005 within the Civil Code under Article 140 bis. This is due to the significant development in the industrial sector and the resulting proliferation of many and varied products in the markets, which often contain defects that make their use dangerous or ineffective. This requires holding the producer civilly liable to the consumer for the damages caused by their defective products to compensate the latter.
