아동보호관점에서의 소비자법과 정책에 관한 연구— 어린이 안전 관련 법제를 중심으로 —

The occurrence of an accident directly affects life or body, and once it occurs, it can lead to significant consequences. Therefore, for a safe consumption life, the state needs to reorganize laws and regulations as necessary. It is most important to prevent the occurrence or expansion of damage to life or body in consumer consumption activities and to ensure its safety. Currently, Korea is applying some provisions of the “Basic Consumer Act”, a general law on consumer safety, in relation to consumer safety. In addition, the administration on consumer safety is operated in accordance with individual laws handled by the competent ministries. However, the current system has limitations in situations where rapid response is needed regarding consumer safety. In addition, it is clear that special care is needed for children who have difficulty securing safety on their own. In order to strengthen the immediate response to consumer emergencies, the government should reorganize a system that can be promoted as one. In addition, it is necessary to revise individual laws for child safety to further supplement policies such as consumer protection in the future.
