Abstract

Based on Article 4 letter a of Consumer Protection Law Number 8 Year 1999 on Consumer Protection, consumers are entitled to the right to comfort, security, and safety in consuming goods and/or services. In addition to the above provisions, Article 4 letter c of the UUPK also states that consumers are entitled to correct, clear, and honest information regarding the conditions and guarantees of goods and/or services in consuming goods and/or services. However, there are still business actors who trade slimming drugs containing hazardous materials freely, this shows a gap between the laws and regulations that regulate it and the reality that occurs in the community. The problems in this research are related to legal protection for consumers of slimming drugs containing hazardous substances and the role of BPOM Pekanbaru in supervising slimming drugs containing hazardous substances to protect consumers. To obtain data, library research and field research are conducted. Library research was conducted to obtain secondary data by studying laws and regulations, textbooks and theories related to this research. Field research was conducted to obtain primary data by interviewing respondents and informants. The result of the research shows that consumers have not received maximum legal protection, especially consumer rights contained in Article 4 letter a and c. By law, consumers have the right to file a lawsuit against business actors who cause harm to themselves, but in this case consumers do not file any lawsuit against business actors but only stop using the dangerous slimming drugs. It is suggested to business actors to carry out their obligations in accordance with the provisions of the UUPK, especially regarding the obligations in Article 4 letters a and c. In addition, consumers are advised to be more active in defending their rights. The role of BBPOM Pekanbaru in supervising the circulation of slimming products containing harmful ingredients has not been implemented because there are still business actors who sell slimming drugs containing harmful ingredients and it is recommended to increase supervision and guidance to the maximum of the marketing and use of dangerous slimming drugs.
