The report demonstrates: (1) the CPSC isn&#8217;t financed well enough to completely protect consumers from dangerous products, (2) the CPSC isn\u2019t authorized to immediately warn or recall items without the consent of a manufacturer, and (3) manufacturers don\u2019t back up recalls by letting consumers know through marketing that they should stop using defective items.<\/p>\n<p>Murray analyzed recalls involving 292 products that were recalled last year and the 3600 complaints about those products. She learned that the products remained on the market for months, even as more and more consumers were injured by them. Consumers would file numerous complaints prior to recalls. The companies would sometimes delay in providing notice to CPSC of the dangers. Nothing was done for months or even years.<\/p>\n<p>While the CPSC website tells consumers to make sure the products they buy are safe before purchasing, it doesn\u2019t contain the full spectrum of reports that consumers make to manufacturers. This omission can make you, as a consumer, feel more secure than you are. For instance, though Horizon had received 874 reports that its treadmill unexpectedly changed speeds or halted and more than 70 people got hurt in those incidents, there were only 8 reports of malfunction that were made public. Similarly, 429 different products were linked to 62 deaths, almost 1600 injuries and over 23,000 non-injury producing defects. But of note, and by way of comparison, the CPSC public data collection reported only 13 deaths, 135 injuries and 96 breakdowns in those products.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.molllawgroup.com\/blog\/new-report-on-consumer-protection-safety-commission-is-published\/#more-2956\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently, the United States Public Interest Research Group Education Fund published a report by Teresa Murray, a consumer watchdog with the nonpartisan consumer advocacy nonprofit PIRG.
