The Online Sale of Goods (Safety) Bill would give the government the power to create safety rules for goods sold online. It would require the Secretary of State to make regulations to protect consumers from unsafe products bought online and to set duties on online platforms and sellers to meet those safety standards. The aim is to strengthen consumer protection for online shopping, aligning online rules with offline safeguards.
The bill is at its second reading in the House of Commons. If it progresses, it would move on to committee scrutiny and later stages before becoming law.
