Abstract

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has been subject to the criticism of all parties involved in the regulation of the safety of consumer products. This paper evaluates the Commission's performance, examining both the sources of the Commission's regulatory problems and the extent to which recent amendments to the Consumer Product Safety Act will ameliorate these problems. Alternative approaches to the regulation of consumer product safety are suggested.
