Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. Since the CPSC was established more than 50 years ago, it has worked to ensure the safety of consumer products, which has contributed to a decline in injuries associated with these products.<\/p>\n<p>Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the
