Article 14 of the Saudi Medical Devices Law

This article imposes two obligations on anyone who dispensed or sold a medical device or supply that falls into one of three situations:

• Adulterated: that is, its identity or source was deliberately altered with the intent to deceive, or its contents changed in a way that harms its safety, or it was packed in counterfeit packaging, under Article 1.
• Unregistered.
• Without a marketing authorization.

First obligation: notify the Authority as soon as he learns of it, with the information about what was dispensed or sold, its quantity, and the name and address of the person it was dispensed or sold to. The aim is to enable the Authority to trace the devices that have reached people.

Second obligation: refund the price to the buyer. The article expressly states the seller's obligation to refund the price.

Note that the notification obligation is tied to the moment of knowledge: it arises "as soon as he learns of that". The article does not address the seller's criminal liability, which is governed by the Law's provisions on violations and penalties.

For the buyer, the article gives a clear text on the right to get the price back. If the seller refuses, or there is harm beyond the price, it is advisable to consult a lawyer who specializes in health and commercial regulations.
