What Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act 2008 - 15 USC 2061 Imminent Hazards requires
Section 2061 of title 15 of the United States Code, as amended by the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA, Public Law 110-314, enacted 14 August 2008), authorises the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to file federal court actions regarding imminently hazardous consumer products defined as products presenting imminent and unreasonable risk of death, serious illness, or severe personal injury. The CPSC may seek seizure of hazardous products, mandatory notification to purchasers, public warnings, recalls, repairs, replacements, or refunds. The CPSIA materially expanded CPSC authority including lower lead and phthalates limits for children's products (15 USC 1278a and 2057c), mandatory third-party testing and certification of children's products (15 USC 2063), Children's Product Safety Certificates and General Certificates of Conformity, the CPSC public reporting database SaferProducts.gov (15 USC 2055a), enhanced civil penalties (up to 100,000 USD per violation and 15 million USD total in fines under section 2069), and the Section 6(b) confidentiality framework for manufacturer-identifying information. The CPSC framework applies to all consumer products other than those expressly excluded (food and drugs regulated by FDA, motor vehicles regulated by NHTSA, firearms, etc.), with particular focus on children's products, electrical safety, choking and entanglement, ATVs, lithium-ion battery safety, and increasingly AI-enabled or internet-connected consumer products.
