KESELAMATAN PRODUK FARMASEUTIKAL DALAM PERUNDANGAN MALAYSIA DAN SYARIAH: SATU SOROTAN LITERATUR

Abstract

Consumer right to safety is one of the rights that has been
recognised universally. The view of protecting the basic rights
of consumer is widely accepted through the promulgation and
effective enforcement of consumer protection policies and
legislation. Product safety regulations are aimed to prevent
dangerous products from reaching the market or the consumer
and inform the consumer on how to use the products safely. At
the same time, product safety regulations also protect consumers
against unreasonable, unacceptable and preventable risks. In
Islamic perspective, the concept of halalan tayyiban and maqasid
shariah are the main indicator in product safety regulation. This
article will review the literature on the concept of consumer
protection and product safety regulation in Malaysian and
Shariah legislation.
