摘　　要：在广为传媒关注的东芝笔记本电脑事件中，东芝公司以中国与美国法律不同为由，拒绝给予中国消费者赔偿。通过对美国、中国有关法律规定的比较并根据国际公约，本文指出：中美法律虽有不同，但在过失产品责任认定上是一致的，在“损害”定义上并没有本质差别；日本东芝公司无论根据美国法律还是中国法律或者国际公约，都必须给予中国用户赔偿。In incident of Toshiba Notebook Computer followed with interest by media, Toshiba Company refused to compensate Chinese consumers with the excuse that Chinese law is different from American law. Through comparison of legal provisions between Chinese and American laws and according to international convention, the author of this article points out that though Chinese Law is different from American law, we agree as far as the responsibility for faulty product is concerned and there is no essential distinction in the definition of 'damage'. Japanese Toshiba Company must compensate Chinese consumers whether it is according to American law or Chinese law or international convention.
