Senate Passes Major CPSC Reform Act
The Senate passed on a 79-13 vote, the CPSC Reform Act. This bi-partisan legislation represents the most significant improvement in almost two decades to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the agency that oversees the safety of more than 15,000 consumer products in the United States.
“We look forward to working with the House and Senate to make sure that
final CPSC reform legislation is as strong as possible and is completed
as soon as possible, so parents and caregivers won’t have another
holiday toy-buying nightmare,” said Kirpal Singh, Staff Attorney with
CoPIRG. “By taking the best parts of the House and Senate bills, we can
end up with a final law that protects the public from unnecessary risks
of harm posed by untested, little regulated products that may contain
toxic lead or other hazards.”
