consumer product safety

Consumer product safety refers to the measures and regulations in place to ensure that products sold to the public are safe to use and do not pose unreasonable risks. This includes thorough testing and evaluation of products, labeling important safety information, and regulations enforced by governmental agencies, such as the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) in the U.S. The goal is to protect consumers from injuries or harm resulting from defective or hazardous products, ensuring that items like toys, appliances, and electronics meet safety standards before they can be sold.
