Rulemaking
PROPOSED RULE: May 17, 2010
The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (‘‘CPSIA’’), authorizes the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (‘‘Commission’’) to specify, by rule, for any consumer product or class of consumer products, characteristics whose existence or absence shall be deemed a substantial product hazard under certain circumstances. In this document, the Commission is proposing a rule to determine that any hand-held hair dryer without integral immersion protection presents a substantial product hazard.
