The aim of this thesis is to analyze the warning systems used against dangerous or unsafe products, as well as to analyze the knowledge and attitudes of consumer protection against unsafe products. The work deals with the analysis of the RAPEX and RASSF alert systems in 2009. Market research was conducted assessing the knowledge of respondents regarding dangerous products. In the final section, there is a proposal for improving these systems, as well as an economic evaluation. An analysis of the market research I conducted indicates that respondents are interested in a product?s security when they are deciding whether or not to purchase it, they know where to find this information (Internet, TV), they mostly do not understand the safety warning systems used in the EU, and they rarely seek the support of surveillance institutions. Disturbing finding was the behavior of respondents in the case of having dangerous goods (many of them stop using the product). For this reason I propose to change consumer behavior to improve the situation. I would like to achieve the change in behavior through information campaigns on television, where they would show the correct behavior and the benefits that arise from the correct behavior, such as reducing and preventing the occurrence of dangerous products on the market. The campaign would be in harmony with the aims of consumer policy for the period 2011-2014, where the safety of products and services, health, life and personal property security of consumers are fundamental priorities.
