Abstract

The demand for Halal pharmaceutical products in Malaysia has been on the rise, but this positive trend is accompanied by concerning issues such as the use of fake Halal logos and the inclusion of non-Halal ingredients in pharmaceutical products, which present risks to consumers and undermine trust in the industry. Accordingly, tort law emerges as one of the legal mechanisms for consumers seeking redress in cases involving fake Halal logos and non-Halal ingredients. With the application of a doctrinal method based on qualitative legal research methodology, this article analyses the remedies under tort law. The study investigates the effectiveness of remedies provided by tort law in dealing with these issues. Findings reveal that the existing remedies under tort law do not entirely safeguard consumers’ apprehensions related to fake Halal logos and non-Halal ingredients. Therefore, there is a need for a comprehensive review of existing laws to ensure that they provide complete protection for consumers and help to promote the continuous growth of the Halal pharmaceutical industry in Malaysia.
