Legal Protection Of Consumers Against Fraud In Products Under Algerian Legislation
Authors : Omeir Hadjira .
Abstract
Consumer protection has become a fundamental necessity in modern societies, as practices harmful to consumers can only be effectively addressed through the establishment of legal rules that criminalise acts threatening their health, safety, and security, including within the electronic sphere. Legal texts play a crucial role in combating unlawful commercial practices by establishing monitoring mechanisms over the activities of economic operators and imposing sanctions on violators. Among the most serious offenses affecting consumers is fraud in products, which consists of altering or distorting the natural composition of products, concealing defects, or presenting goods in a misleading form. Such fraud may concern the nature, characteristics, weight, or measure of products, thereby undermining consumer confidence and the integrity of transactions. Given the widespread nature of this phenomenon, including its extension to electronic contracts, Algerian legislation has introduced deterrent penal sanctions aimed at protecting consumers and ensuring transparency and fairness in commercial transactions.
