The CPSC influences product development from the initial design phase through to final production. Businesses must ensure that their products meet all applicable safety standards:
1. Design and Testing: Products need to be designed with safety in mind. Rigorous testing is required to ensure they meet CPSC standards. 2. Labeling and Instructions: Proper labeling and clear instructions are necessary to inform consumers about potential hazards and how to use the product safely. 3. Continuous Monitoring: Even after a product is released, businesses must continuously monitor for safety issues and report any incidents to the CPSC.
