abstract="This study examined people's safety perceptions concerning consumer products. Participants (n=129) were asked about their overall beliefs concerning safety of consumer products sold in the U.S. Beliefs regarding government and industry policies concerning safety were also collected. Results showed that participants gave ratings indicating believing that consumer products sold in the U.S. are safe. People tended to trust U.S. government's policies towards product safety. However, participants' responses indicate skepticism about manufacturers' motivations. Implications for HF/E research in risk communication are discussed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
