Summary/Abstract: The article presents the problem of the incompatibility of the manner of the implementation of the term ‘importer’ into Polish law with respect to the issue of liability for a hazardous product with the provisions of Directive 374/85, and the problems which arise as a result with regard to liability of sellers bringing a product into Poland from another EU Member State. The article provides a proposal for the interpretation of the term ‘importer’ under Article 4495 § 2 of the Civil Code, until the necessary legislative change is made that would ensure the compliance of the Polish law with Directive 374/85
