The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is a U.S. government agency responsible for protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with consumer products. Established in 1972, the CPSC develops safety standards, conducts research, and promotes awareness about product safety. It also has the authority to recall dangerous products from the market.
The CPSC oversees a wide range of products, including toys, electronics, and household items. The agency works to ensure that manufacturers comply with safety regulations and provides consumers with information on how to use products safely. Through its efforts, the CPSC aims to reduce the number of product-related injuries and fatalities.
