Cyberspace and the Consumer Product Safety Commission will converge on March 11, 2011—the deadline to launch a searchable consumer product safety incident database.
On August 12, 2008, President Bush signed the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (“CPSIA”), enacting the most comprehensive consumer products legislation since 1972. A striking feature of the CPSIA is Section 212, which directs the creation of a publicly accessible, searchable consumer product safety database. Section 212 requires the commission to establish and maintain a database on the safety of consumer products, and other products or substances regulated by the commission. Section 212 further mandates that the database be publicly available, searchable and accessible through the commission’s Internet Web site.
