Authors

Abstract
Consumer protection and product safety are key
to public health, free trade, and the social-economic well-being. Recent
consumer power, fast digitalization, and global trade of Bangladesh have
exacerbated problems of product quality, false branding, and food adulteration.
This article reviews the regulatory regime for consumer protection and product
safety in Bangladesh, comparing it with international systems to identify best
practice as well as areas which require improvement. With a qualitative and analytical
method based on socio-legal research techniques, the article focuses on the
adequacy of laws, control institutions and capacity building. The results show
continued challenges in enforcement, low levels of consumer knowledge and
insufficient response to digital and technological risks. Suggestions are
developed for a series of measures, such as refining law enforcement system,
legislating special laws on ecommerce, raising consumer awareness level,
introducing united risk-based governance mechanism in new technologies area,
corporate social responsibility (CSR) and create consistency between the
above-stated six national legislation pattern with the international. The
article highlights the importance of a flexible, transparent legal structure to
protect consumers and regulate markets in Bangladesh.
