The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is an independent federal agency protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with consumer products.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is an independent federal regulatory agency charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of the thousands of types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Established in 1972, the CPSC works to ensure the safety of consumer goods—such as toys, cribs, power tools, household chemicals, and electronics—by developing voluntary standards with industry, issuing and enforcing mandatory standards, banning dangerous consumer products, and organizing product recalls.
The agency provides critical safety resources, including recall alerts, safety education, and a platform for consumers to report unsafe products. Unlike a traditional manufacturer, the CPSC does not produce goods but serves as the regulatory body that oversees the safety compliance of products sold in the United States.
