Do you manufacture, import, distribute, or sell any product that is used in the home, school, or office? Then Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) regulations likely apply to you. The CPSC is an independent regulatory agency charged with, inter alia, protecting the public against unreasonable risks of injury associated with consumer products; developing uniform safety standards for consumer products; and investigating the causes and prevention of product-related deaths, illnesses, and injuries. Learn about the many Acts the CPSC enforces and the regulatory focus of the current Commission.

Learning Objectives:

  • Upon completion, participants will have a better understanding of all statutes that govern consumer products under the CPSC's jurisdiction.
  • Upon completion, participants will have a better understanding of how the agency and staff function.
  • Upon completion, participants will have a better understanding of the political aspects that impact rules, regulations and the function of the CPSC.
