Growing numbers of consumer product recalls in 2007 and 2008,
particularly of imported toys and children’s products, focused
increased attention on the Consumer Product Safety Comm. (CPSC). In the 2012 Consolidated Appropriations Act, Congress required an analysis of the potential safety risks associated with new and emerging consumer products. CPSC’s approach focuses on new hazards, which could be risks associated with both new and existing products.
