Expired products, poorly informed labels: who is responsible? Where to turn? A lawyer, specialized in consumer law, explains the procedure to follow in the event of food poisoning.

How to prove it?
It is up to the victim to have a medical report carried out, then to ask the judge in chambers, or the public prosecutor in the most serious cases, to appoint an expert. The latter is responsible for examining whether there is a causal link between the defective product and the damage suffered.

Who is responsible ?
The supplier, and the importer if the product comes from elsewhere, are always involved. The producer can be too. Nevertheless, the most common procedure involves the seller, who can, for his part, turn against his supplier and importer.

Where to turn?
Concerning the appointment of the expert, it is advisable to turn to the court of the place where one resides. And for the action seeking compensation, it is normally the court of the defendant’s place which takes charge of the procedure.

What remedies does the law provide?
The law provides for full compensation for damage. Most of the time, the latter is proportional to the work interruption time generated. You can also claim compensation for damages related to the pain suffered, depending on the seriousness of the case, as well as the payment of the resulting medical expenses.

Legal action or not?
Any damage is reparable, and, whatever the damage, legal proceedings are legitimate. However, this can be expensive. It is therefore better, before starting, to examine whether this action is profitable and proportional to the damage suffered.
