About the U.S. CPSC
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting
the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of
thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage
from consumer product incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually.
CPSC’s work to ensure the safety of consumer products has contributed to a
decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products
over the past 40 years. Federal law bars any person from selling products
subject to a publicly announced voluntary recall by a manufacturer or a
mandatory recall ordered by the Commission.
