Consumer Advocacy and Protection Act of 2024

This bill increases civil penalties for violations of the Consumer Product Safety Act. It raises the maximum penalty per violation from $100,000 to $250,000 and requires annual adjustments for inflation using the Consumer Price Index. These changes directly affect manufacturers and sellers of consumer products who face safety violations. The key mechanism is an automatic inflation adjustment process that updates penalty amounts each year, rounded to the nearest $1, based on the previous year's Consumer Price Index data.
