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.
