CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission)
launches new product safety reporting database
Today, CPSC launched a new resource for pediatricians and other health care
providers, as well as parents and families:
SaferProducts.gov, an online database to report injuries or hazards posed by
consumer products.
Examples of reportable incidents might include:
- A child's ingestion of a small part that broke off a toy
- An injury caused when a child fell out of a crib, cradle, bassinet or
bunk bed
- An infant's rash linked to a detergent or cleansing product meant for
use with babies
As reports are collated, pediatricians and family members can search the
database for reports associated with specific products or classes of products.
