The Consumer Product Safety Commission is a federal agency in the United States dedicated to protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with consumer products. Established in 1973 through the Consumer Product Safety Act, the CPSC works to ensure the safety of consumer products by setting and enforcing safety standards, conducting research, and educating consumers about potential hazards. The agency collaborates with businesses to promote compliance with safety regulations and has the authority to recall dangerous products, ban hazardous substances, and impose penalties for violations. By addressing risks across a wide range of products from toys to household appliances, the CPSC plays a crucial role in safeguarding the health and well-being of American consumers.
