The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is shifting from regulatory rulemaking to stronger enforcement, focusing on penalties for late product hazard reporting, tighter import scrutiny, and revived imminent hazard litigation, posing significant compliance risks for manufacturers, importers, and online marketplaces.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Other.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You must strengthen reporting and import compliance immediately as the US safety watchdog is stepping up penalties and enforcement. Lax internal controls now expose your company to costly fines and legal battles in federal court.
