According to an online news story posted on marshalltribune.com, many people are injured, burned, or killed by dangerous products. When these incidents happen, people often choose to warn family members, complain to the maker, post negative reviews, and/or report their situation on social media. However, most people are unaware of the benefits of reporting unsafe products to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The Consumer Product Safety Commission is an independent governmental agency that works to protect the public from injuries or deaths caused by thousands of consumer products. The CPSC also regulates products such as cribs, toys, power tools, household chemicals, lawnmowers, ATVs, appliances, motorized vehicles., and any other consumer item that pose an electrical, fire, mechanical, or chemical hazard.
The CPSC depends on people harmed by unsafe products to inform the agency. The following are four reasons why you must report the dangerous product to CPSC.
The CPSC has launched a new website called SaferProducts.gov. The SaferProducts.gov website is new and improved. The website was updated to make it simpler for people to use and obtain information. The site can help you avoid buying or using products that might pose a risk of burns, injury, or death.
