Today complex products enter the market that their use requires compliance with the rules and guidelines that must be provided to the buyer. On the other hand, there are many products in the market that are poor, in terms of safety and quality standards, and not only have financial damage to the consumers but also may endanger their lives. Even the standard products may be inherently dangerous or have dangerous side effects. Under this situation, consumers need the essential information for correct use of the property and purchased goods. Vendors and manufacturers are obliged to provide information and guidance on how to use the product and inform the consumers about the defects that  they should know. This obligation is taken into consideration in many countries, including the Iranian law and English law. Although the parties do not have to repeat all the information and professional secrets to another in the Iranian and English law, and duty to inform the other is limited to the information contained in the decision to enter into a contract, it is not permissible to hide it.
 We can provide information about the scope on the following:
A) INFORMATION about the defects of goods;
B) warnings about the potential dangers of goods;
C) instructions for the better use of the goods; and
D) the technical information relating to the characteristics of the goods
