This proposed legislation seeks to amend the Consumer Product Safety Act by removing the current exclusion of firearms from the definition of a consumer product . Specifically, it strikes a subparagraph from Section 3(a)(5) of the Act that currently exempts pistols, revolvers, and other firearms from this classification. The primary goal of this amendment is to grant the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) the explicit authority to issue and enforce safety standards for these articles. By reclassifying firearms as consumer products, the CPSC would be empowered to regulate their design, manufacturing, and labeling. This would allow the agency to address potential hazards and enhance the safety of firearms, aligning their oversight with that of other consumer goods.
