Full text available at: https://journals.udsm.ac.tz/index.php/ealr/article/view/6545/5177This article analyzes the legal framework for protecting consumer rights against counterfeit electronic products (CEPs) in Tanzania. It deals with consumer protection specifically, consumers’ right to safety against CEPs such as mobile phones, computers and television sets. Data was collected through documentary reviews and interviews. It notes that the protection of consumer rights is not constitutionally guaranteed. Further, multiple laws protecting businesses’ interests, partly protect consumers’ interests. There is no comprehensive law dealing with consumer protection to ensure consumers’ right to safety save for the multiple laws, where consumer right to safety is partially guaranteed. Finally, the article recommends for consolidation of consumer protection provisions into a framework law to fully protect consumers in Tanzania.enConsumerConsumers rightConsumer safetyConsumers' right to safety and CEPsTanzaniaArticle
