Conditions Under Which the Staff Will Refrain From Making Preliminary Hazard Determinations

The Consumer Product Safety Act requires manufacturers, distributors, and retailers of consumer products distributed in commerce to notify the Commission of certain defects, unreasonable risks, or non-compliance with voluntary or mandatory standards. The Commission has made permanent its ``No PD'' program: The staff refrains from making a preliminary hazard determination when firms report and, within 20 working days, implement an acceptable corrective action.
