U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)
The CPSC is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death from thousands of types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. The CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical or mechanical hazard or can injure children. The CPSC ensures the safety of consumer products - toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters, and household chemicals – and contributed significantly to the 30 percent decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 30 years.
