Consumer advice
The council's trading standards service
advises on and enforces a wide range of laws designed to try to
ensure the safety of consumer goods and products and the protection
of consumers in the borough.
Product safety is one of the most important areas dealt with by the
Tower Hamlets trading standards office. The Trading standards
service also has an important role in advising businesses on the
safety of consumer goods, as well as investigating unsafe products
and prosecuting unscrupulous traders.
The safety of consumer goods and products has been improved in the
UK since the introduction of the Consumer protection act 1987 and
the General product safety Regulations 2005. The increased number
of European directives being included in UK regulations also means
more protection for consumers.
