SaferProducts.gov is the Publicly Available Consumer Product Safety Information Database website of the U.S. Consumer Product
Safety Commission (CPSC).
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death
from thousands of types of consumer products under the agency’s jurisdiction. 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 CPSC’s work to ensure the safety of consumer
products—such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters, and household chemicals—contributed significantly to the decline in the rate
of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 30 years.
Through SaferProducts.gov, consumers, child service providers, health care professionals, government officials and public safety
entities can submit reports of harm (Reports) involving consumer products. Manufacturers (including importers) and private labelers identified
in Reports will receive a copy of the Report, and have the opportunity to comment on them. Completed Reports and manufacturer comments are published
online at www.SaferProducts.gov for anyone to search.
CPSC was required to create a public portal and a publicly accessible, searchable database of consumer product incident reports by the
Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA), which became law on August 14, 2008.
