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 $800 billion annually. The CPSC is committed to protecting
consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical,
or mechanical hazard. 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 decline in the rate
of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 30
years.
