Product safety laws and regulations govern literally thousands of consumer products across a wide variety of industries. Consumer products manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and component suppliers must be aware of the broad reach of the Consumer Product Safety Commission's (CPSC) jurisdiction in enforcing myriad consumer product safety laws, their amendments, state law counterparts, and implementing regulations, including the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA), Child Safety Protection Act, Children's Gasoline Burn Prevention Act, Federal Hazardous Substances Act, Flammable Fabrics Act, Poison Prevention Packaging Act, Refrigerator Safety Act, Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act, and Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA). This is an area of the law subject to frequent change and intense public scrutiny. In particular, the 2008 CPSIA imposes extensive regulatory compliance requirements.

We have substantial experience in cases and matters involving CPSC and state issues, as well as with the complexities of the CPSIA, and are available around the clock to assist clients with compliance issues, recalls, reporting requirements, and related litigation. We have assisted a diverse range of manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, private labelers, retailers, and other businesses that deal with consumer products. We provide a deep bench of experience and valuable guidance in these matters.
