submitted 54 years ago by Pub. L. 92-573 to r/title-15-COMMERCE-AND-TRADE · 75 words · no verdicts yet
The Commission may declare a consumer product a banned hazardous product when it presents an unreasonable risk of injury and no feasible safety standard would adequately protect the public.
If the Commission* finds both that (1) a consumer product* is being, or will be, distributed in commerce* and presents an unreasonable risk of injury*, and (2) no feasible consumer-product safety standard under this chapter would adequately protect the public from that risk, the Commission may follow section 2058 of this title and issue a rule declaring the product a banned hazardous product.
Whenever the Commission* finds that—
a consumer product* is being, or will be, distributed in commerce* and such consumer product presents an unreasonable risk of injury*; and
no feasible consumer product safety standard under this chapter would adequately protect the public from the unreasonable risk of injury associated with such product,
the Commission may, in accordance with section 2058 of this title, promulgate a rule declaring such product a banned hazardous product.
