CPSC's Role in Consumer Safety

The CPSC is responsible for protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury associated with consumer products. The agency highlights that deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. The CPSC has been instrumental in ensuring product safety for over 50 years, contributing to a decline in injuries associated with consumer products.

Federal law prohibits the sale of products subject to a Commission-ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC. Consumers are encouraged to adhere to recall instructions to ensure their safety and compliance with federal regulations.
