Consumers International 105d ago

Safe Products, Confident Consumers Dialogues With leaders across governments, business, consumer organisations, and international institutions we will examine how effective safety systems for manufactured products are defined, built, and enforced - and just why significant regulatory gaps persist across many markets. How can international product safety principles and recommendations be translated into practical national action? What are the pathways from weak or fragmented frameworks towards meaningful consumer guarantees? We also look to the role of business practice, accountability, and prevention across the product lifecycle, and why cross-sector collaboration - with consumer organisations - can unlock product safety, rebuild consumer trust, and shape coordinated action beyond World Consumer Rights Day and through 2026.
