Mass industrial production is heavily burdened by this problem, and situations of withdrawal from the market are frequent. The current legislation takes into account the difference between those defects that are visible and those that are not. An imperfection of a product that results in some damage to their customer in considered as an imperfect product or unfinished. These defects can be numerous, and usually come in there forms, namely: (1) products with manufacturing or construction defects; (2) there are no instructions for use or those with inadequate warnings for harm during use; and discovered defects after placing the products on the market, the harmful consequences of which could not be foreseen at the time of production or after placing it on the market; In real circumstances, the vast majority are products of the pharmaceutical industry, which can lead to health consequences (through their use). However, at the time of production for these products (according to scientific and technical knowledge), their harmfulness was not known. These are, for example, the following consumer products: cosmetic products, children’s toys, health supplements and the like.
