A resolution recognizing the 50th anniversary of the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

This resolution (SRES 855) commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), established by the 1972 Consumer Product Safety Act. It formally recognizes the Commission's role in protecting consumers through safety standards, product recalls, and enforcement of laws like the Federal Hazardous Substances Act. The Senate expresses appreciation for the CPSC's work in reducing injuries and deaths from products such as refrigerators, pools, and bicycles, while acknowledging ongoing safety challenges. This is a symbolic gesture with no new policy requirements or funding.
