product safety organizations

Product safety organizations are groups that test, evaluate, and set standards to ensure that products—such as toys, electronics, and appliances—are safe for consumers to use. They often create guidelines and perform inspections, recalling dangerous items if needed. Their goal is to prevent accidents or injuries caused by unsafe products and to give consumers confidence in the items they purchase. Examples include government agencies like the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and independent standards organizations that work with manufacturers to maintain safety throughout a product’s lifecycle.
