What US Consumer Product Safety Act (15 USC ch 47): Product Safety Standards, Recalls and Penalties requires
The Consumer Product Safety Act (15 U.S.C. ch. 47) is a core US consumer protection statute that establishes the Consumer Product Safety Commission and authorizes it to regulate the safety of consumer products and to address those that present an unreasonable risk of injury. Section 2056 authorizes consumer product safety standards, including performance requirements and warnings, and section 2057 authorizes the banning of a hazardous product where no feasible standard would adequately protect the public. Section 2064 addresses substantial product hazards: a manufacturer, importer, distributor or retailer that obtains information reasonably supporting the conclusion that a product contains a defect that could create a substantial product hazard, or fails to comply with a standard, must immediately notify the Commission, and the Commission may order public notification, repair, replacement or refund. Section 2068 sets out the prohibited acts. Section 2069 sets civil penalties of up to 100,000 dollars for each violation, with a maximum of 15,000,000 dollars for any related series of violations, and section 2070 provides criminal penalties. The Act is the legal foundation for US consumer product safety regulation and recall obligations.
