Consumer Product Safety Act

The Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA) is a U.S. law that aims to protect the public from unreasonable risks of injury associated with consumer products. It established the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to set safety standards, enforce regulations, and oversee recalls of defective products. The Act requires manufacturers to report hazards, ensures that products are tested for safety, and helps consumers access information about recalled items. Overall, the CPSA is designed to promote safer consumer products and reduce the likelihood of accidents and injuries in homes and workplaces.
