EU and UK Collective Action Risks From Regulatory Reforms in Product Safety, Compliance and Consumer Protection

Cooley’s On the Record Rapid-Fire Series provides insights and analysis on commercial and contractual disputes – and the issues that drive them. The series addresses a range of topics, including class actions, crypto, product liability, and cross-border, life sciences and technology disputes.

Session 3 – EU and UK Collective Action Risks From Regulatory Reforms in Product Safety, Compliance and Consumer Protection

Attendees joined members of Cooley’s disputes and products teams for a 30-minute rapid-fire webinar discussing regulatory reforms driving increasing class action risks, particularly in relation to the use of artificial intelligence and the targeting of online marketplaces. We focused on the Office for Product Safety and Standards report considering how AI impacts product safety, the impact of the European Union’s likely stand-alone AI liability regime, and Digital Services Act reforms. Throughout the session, we also considered preventative actions to reduce the liability risk.
