Every year, thousands of consumers are injured or even killed by defective products in the United States. Burns, suffocation, strangulation, tip-over injuries, electrocution, poisoning – those are just a few of the devastating consequences consumers have suffered because of faulty products. These hazardous products include dangerously designed and manufactured baby cribs and children’s toys, faulty appliances and electrical products, defective fireworks, power tools, yard and garden equipment – this list goes on.
Despite the passage of the Consumer Protection Act of 1972, these types of injuries and deaths have continued to persist especially in the area of children’s products and toys. To help further product safety, the U.S. government created the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act in 2008 “to establish consumer product safety standards and other safety requirements for children’s products and to reauthorize and modernize the Consumer Product Safety Commission.”
