Background
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of serious injury
or death from more than 15,000 types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries and property damage
from consumer product incidents cost the nation more than $800 billion annually. 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's
work to ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters, and
household chemicals - contributed significantly to the 30 percent decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated
with consumer products over the past 30 years.
