U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is a federal agency responsible for protecting the public from dangerous consumer products. Established in 1972, the CPSC sets safety standards, conducts research, and provides information to help consumers make informed decisions. It recalls unsafe products, educates the public about safety issues, and works to reduce the risk of injuries and deaths from consumer goods. By regulating items like toys, appliances, and furniture, the CPSC ensures that products available for sale are safe to use, helping to create a safer environment for everyone.
