HR 1686 United States House · 118th Congress

Sunshine in Product Safety Act

The Sunshine in Product Safety Act (HR 1686) amends the Consumer Product Safety Act to require the Consumer Product Safety Commission to publicly disclose safety information about consumer products without delay. It removes a provision (Section 6(b)) that previously allowed the Commission to withhold information if it had not met certain procedural requirements. This change directly affects consumers and product safety advocates by ensuring faster public access to safety data on potentially hazardous items. The bill simplifies disclosure requirements, making safety information more readily available to the public.
