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 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.
