The CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical, or mechanical hazard or can injure children. The CPSCπs work to ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters, and household chemicals ≠ contributed significantly to the 30 percent decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 30 years.
