Abstract
Nowadays,hand sanitizer is one of the primary needs of the community that must be distributed and is one of the items which is urgently needed to be used during the Covid-19 pandemic. Concerning the spread of the covid-19 virus, many business actors and irresponsible people make this phenomenon a business field, in this case, business actors who have bad intentions because of the weakness of consumers who do not have protection for their rights. This article seeks to examine legal protection for consumers to establish Consumer Protection in Article 3 of Law No. 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection (hereinafter abbreviated as UUPK/Undang-Undang Perlindungan Konsumen). The sale of illegal hand sanitizers without a distribution permit during the covid-19 pandemic was caused by irresponsible business actors, and the lack of supervision by the government caused consumers to lose their rights as mandated by law.
