SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Section 15(b) of the CPSA (15 U.S.C. 2051-2089) requires every
manufacturer of a consumer product, or other product or substance over
which the Commission has jurisdiction under any other act enforced by
the Commission, distributed in commerce, and every distributor or
retailer of such product, to immediately report to the Commission when
it obtains certain information. 15 U.S.C. 2064(b). Specifically, such
reporting is required when manufacturers, distributors, or retailers
obtain information that reasonably supports the conclusion that a
product:
Fails to comply with an applicable consumer product safety
rule or with a voluntary consumer product safety standard that the
Commission relied on under Section 9 of the CPSA (15 U.S.C. 2058);
fails to comply with any other rule, regulation, standard,
or ban under the CPSA or any other act the Commission enforces;
contains a defect which could create a substantial product
hazard (i.e., a product defect which (because of the pattern of defect,
the number of defective products distributed in commerce, the severity
of the risk, or otherwise) creates a substantial risk of injury to the
public)); or
creates an unreasonable risk of serious injury or death.
15 U.S.C. 2064(b). This reporting is required unless the
manufacturer, distributor, or retailer has actual knowledge that the
Commission has been adequately informed of such defect, such failure to
comply, or such risk. Id. Manufacturers, distributors, and retailers
can submit Section 15(b) reports to CPSC at: www.SaferProducts.gov/Business.
When submitting a Section 15(b) report through
www.SaferProducts.gov/Business, manufacturers, distributors, and
retailers may elect to participate in the Fast Track Recall Program,
which is an alternative procedure for recalling products reported under
Section 15(b) of the CPSA. 62 FR 39827 (July 24, 1997).
On March 6, 2019, CPSC held a public hearing to receive information
from interested parties about possible changes to www.SaferProducts.gov
to improve the website's usefulness and ease of use. 84 FR 3134 (Feb.
11, 2019). CPSC will hold a public webinar on April 28, 2021 on further
enhancements, focusing on Section 15(b) reporting for purposes of
entering the Fast Track Recall Program.
II. Webinar
A. Topics for Discussion
Participants who register for the webinar will have an opportunity
to see the improvements to www.SaferProducts.gov/Business and provide
feedback to CPSC through a moderated discussion. CPSC would like to
hear from manufacturers, distributors, and retailers that have
participated in the Fast Track Recall Program, including those who use
www.SaferProducts.gov/Business to report potentially defective or
hazardous products to CPSC. The goal of the webinar is to receive
feedback on these updates and to assess the impact, if any, that the
improvements will have on the website's utility and usability and the
Fast Track Recall Program.
