Announcement of Consumer Product Safety Commission's Participation in 2015 Healthy Aging Summit

Samenvatting

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission ("CPSC," "Commission," or "we") is announcing its intent to participate in the 2015 Healthy Aging Summit ("Summit"), sponsored by the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion ("HHS/ODPHP") and the American College of Preventative Medicine ("ACPM"). The Summit will specifically highlight the science of healthy aging and preventive services and identify policy gaps that can be pursued to improve the quality of life for older adults. CPSC's focus in the Summit will be to solicit information on better ways that the CPSC and other stakeholders, including state and local governments and non-governmental organizations, can protect the senior population from consumer products that pose risks. The Summit will be held at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, DC, on July 27-28, 2015. We invite interested parties to participate in or attend the Summit. Interested parties are invited to submit written comments to the CPSC related to the Summit. The comments submitted in writing can be in lieu of, or in addition to, participating in person at the Summit.
