The Commission’s on-line Section 15 reporting form has recently been further modified to allow the entry of multiple manufacturers, component part manufacturers as well as allowing for the attachment of up to three documents related to the section 15 report.
CPSC staff strongly encourages firms that need to file Section 15 reports to do so using the Web portal rather than by telephone, whenever possible. You can make a Web-based Section 15 report at virtually any time of day or night and on the weekends (except during occasional periods of system maintenance). The Web-based approach also gets your report to the right people in the Office of Compliance more quickly than a telephone report, which CPSC staff must enter by hand.
The form is at www.cpsc.gov/cgibin/sec15.aspx
Our goal is to improve the efficiency and timeliness with which we process reports and begin working with you to determine whether action is needed to protect the safety of consumers. The quicker manufacturers, retailers and importers report to CPSC, the greater the chance we can prevent incidents or injuries.
