Q: I represent a patio furniture company, does the regularatory act CPSIA apply to our products?
We do not sell any children's furniture
A:
The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) is a federal law that sets safety standards for certain consumer products, including children's products. The law requires manufacturers to conduct testing on their products to ensure that they meet certain safety standards, and it also sets limits on certain substances that can be present in the products.
While the CPSIA primarily focuses on children's products, it also applies to certain non-children's products that may pose a risk to consumers. It's possible that the CPSIA could apply to patio furniture if the furniture contains any hazardous substances or poses a risk to consumers.
To determine whether the CPSIA applies to your patio furniture, you may want to consult with an attorney who specializes in product liability or consumer product safety law. An attorney can review the details of your product and advise you on whether you need to comply with the CPSIA or other federal or state safety regulations.
It's important to ensure that your products meet all applicable safety standards to protect your customers and your business from potential liability. By working with an attorney and staying up to date on relevant safety regulations, you can help ensure that your products are safe and compliant.
