Acerca de la CPSC

La Comisión de Seguridad de Productos del Consumidor de EE.UU. (U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, CPSC) se encarga de proteger al público contra riesgos irrazonables de lesión o muerte asociados al uso de miles de tipos de productos del consumidor. Muertes, lesiones y daños a la propiedad debido a incidentes con productos del consumidor le cuestan al país más de $1 billón de dólares al año. La labor de la CPSC ha contribuido a una disminución en el índice de lesiones asociadas a los productos del consumidor en los últimos 50 años.

La ley federal prohíbe a cualquier persona vender productos sujetos a un retiro del mercado ordenado por la Comisión o a un retiro del mercado llevado a cabo en consulta con la CPSC.
