This legislation aims to enhance the Consumer Product Safety Commission's (CPSC) ability to protect American consumers from potentially hazardous products originating from the People's Republic of China. It amends the Consumer Product Safety Act to grant the CPSC new authority for mandatory recalls of products manufactured or retailed in China, including Hong Kong and Macao. Specifically, the CPSC may issue a mandatory recall without the consent of the manufacturer or retailer if the product presents a substantial product hazard , is sold directly to U.S. consumers (including online), and the Chinese entity has not provided a timely or adequate response to CPSC inquiries. The bill establishes a rebuttable presumption that a product poses a substantial hazard in such cases, streamlining the recall process. The CPSC must provide public notice of any mandatory recall 30 days before it takes effect. Furthermore, the bill expands the definition of "distributor" under the Act. This expanded definition now includes operators of e-commerce platforms headquartered in or primarily operating from the People's Republic of China that facilitate the sale of consumer products to United States consumers. This change aims to hold these platforms accountable for the safety of products sold through their services.
