This legislative proposal, known as the Firearm Safety Act of 2025 , seeks to modify the existing Consumer Product Safety Act . Its primary objective is to eliminate the statutory exclusion that currently prevents firearms, such as pistols and revolvers, from being classified as consumer products. By removing this specific exemption, the bill intends to grant the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) the authority to regulate these items. This regulatory power would enable the CPSC to develop and enforce safety standards for firearms, specifically by striking a subparagraph in Section 3(a)(5) of the Consumer Product Safety Act.
