More Information About the CPSIA Please

If you have been following this blog since its inception, you have noticed a mix of topics, from research regarding the financial impact of recalls on manufacturers to safety tips for consumers. The reason? A mix of readers. Much to my delight, this blog is read by consumers, manufacturers, retailers, academics and researchers.

After several posts with an academic bent, consumers began asking for more practical advice related to product safety and recalls. Hence, posts like those on bike safety and Halloween recalls. More recently, I have been getting requests for more information about the CPSIA. To oblige this latest request, I am currently working on a series of posts that will more thoroughly address the differences between the Consumer Product Safety Act (1972 CPSA) and the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (2008 CPSIA), a topic which I briefly addressed here
and here. I will also continue to pepper the blog with posts more directly applicable to consumers.

The best way to make sure your topic of interest is covered is to simply email me with your questions and ideas. I can be reached at:
