Birth & Parenting News: Consumer Product Safety Commission
This past week the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) launched its new database designed to provide a place for consumers to submit reports of harm or risks of harm from products, and to search for safety information on products they own or may be considering buying. The creation of www.SaferProducts.gov was mandated by Congress as part of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act. The database makes it easier for consumers to report product safety incidents and will help CPSC identify product hazards more quickly. CPSC will review all online reports and will have five business days to send reports to the manufacturer. At that time, manufacturers will have 10 business days to respond and provide comments and/or claims. After that, if all requirements are met, the report and the manufacturer’s comments will be posted in the database.
Each Wednesday, our Birth & Parenting News blog highlights the latest news items, research results, consumer alerts, and legislative action alerts of interest to expectant and new parents and the professionals who work them.
