Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)
McGuireWoods’ product safety lawyers help clients in a broad array of U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission matters – providing guidance and training on CPSC-enforced regulations and best practices; advising on reporting obligations; reporting to the CPSC; responding to CPSC investigations; conducting product recalls or other corrective actions; and defending CPSC enforcement actions.
With more than 50 years of combined experience handling matters involving the CPSC, our lawyers represent manufacturers, importers, distributors and retailers regarding a wide range of brands and products. Some of these brands and products are household names, while others are innovators new to the market. Some of the many categories of products for which we have successfully handled CPSC-related matters include apparel, appliances, batteries, bicycles, camping gear, children’s products, electrical products, footwear, furniture, grills, hardware, indoor and outdoor power tools, light bulbs, light fixtures, mattresses, nursey products, packaging, residential safety devices, and sports equipment.
As trial lawyers and litigators we understand how regulatory decisions can affect the likelihood and magnitude of ensuing litigation. We use strategic and often unique approaches to reduce the risk of future litigation, and we always are mindful of risk management in the event lawsuits and claims arise from a CPSC-related matter.
