A consumer may receive goods that are safe and of good quality. In determining what is defined as good quality, Section 55 of the Consumer Protection Act dictates that goods must be reasonably suitable for the purpose for which they are generally intended, in good working order and free of any defects. Goods also need to be usable and durable for a reasonable period having regard for how the goods are normally used, and how the goods were marketed and or packaged in relation to their purpose.
Further to the above, Section 56 of the Consumer Protection Act implies that the producer, importer, distributor and retailer all warrant that the goods comply with the standards and requirements of Section 55 regarding being safe, durable and of good quality. Section 56 also implies an automatic six-month warranty against any defect or failure on goods supplied.
