ABSTRACT
Product risk assessment is performed in order to assess the safety of products in relation to the consumer. According to the Technical University of Liberec, risk is a probability of accident occurrence and the possible consequences that might occur under certain circumstances or during a certain period (Duffey and Saull 2008). Unlike risk assessment of technical systems, assessment of risk in the system man - product is based primarily on the prediction of the effects of hazards in relation to humans. In this regard, according to the UK Department of Health, risk is the probability, high or low, that somebody (or something) will be harmed by a hazard, multiplied by the severity of the potential harm (Duffey and Saull 2008).
