protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death
associated with the use of
thousands of types of consumer products under the agency’s
jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer
product incidents cost the
nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC is committed to
protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire,
electrical, chemical or
mechanical hazard. CPSC's work to help ensure the safety of
consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters
and household
chemicals -– contributed to a decline in the rate of deaths
and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 40 years.




Federal law bars any person from selling products subject to a
publicly-announced voluntary recall by a manufacturer or a mandatory
recall ordered by the
Commission.
