Kuwait Consumer Protection Law — Law No. 39 of 2014

Kuwait's consumer-protection framework is Law No. 39 of 2014 on Consumer Protection, in force since 8 June 2014 (37 articles), with its Executive Regulation issued via Ministerial Decision No. 27 of 2015. It requires suppliers to disclose product manufacture/expiry dates, ingredients, and any inherent hazards and precautions on packaging and invoices (in Arabic), bans display or sale of defective goods and sale of hazardous materials to minors, and entitles consumers to replacement or compensation for defective products. The Ministry of Commerce and Industry enforces the law and resolves consumer disputes, with penalties for violations set out in the law itself. Kuwait's product-conformity/technical-regulation regime for imported and domestic regulated goods is set out separately — see the Standardisation Law reference.
