Consumer Product Safety Commission
Definition
- The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) was created by the Consumer Product Safety Act of 1972 to protect the public against unreasonable risks of injury associated with a wide range of consumer products. The rationale for this act came from a national commission study on product safety, which found that 20 million Americans were injured severely enough each year because of product-related accidents to require medical treatment.
