AWAD, Ximena Marcazzolo  and  TORRES, María Elena Santibáñez. CURRENT STATUS OF CRIMINAL LIABILITY FOR THE PRODUCT IN CHILEAN LEGISLATION. Revista Internacional CONSINTER de Direito [online]. 2020, n.10, pp.243-260.  Epub June 30, 2020. ISSN 2183-6396.  https://doi.org/10.19135/revista.consinter.00010.11.

The duties of manufacturers and distributors that generate criminal liability for defective products are those to oversee, warning and withdrawal. The article analyzes these duties and then determines if the criminal Chilean legislation can cover this type of responsibility, or if on the contrary, the system is dualistic and the common illicit must be used for better consumer protection.

Keywords : Criminal liability for defective products; duties of manufacturers and distributors; Chilean legislation..
