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 $700 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.
To report a dangerous product or a
product-related injury, call CPSC's hotline at (800) 638-2772 or
CPSC's teletypewriter at (800) 638-8270, or visit CPSC's web site at
www.cpsc.gov/talk.html. To join a CPSC email subscription list, please
