## Abstract

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (Commission or CPSC) is issuing a final rule requiring manufacturers to label portable generators with performance and technical data related to performance and safety. The required warning label informs purchasers that: "Using a generator indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES;" "Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is a poison you cannot see or smell;" "NEVER use inside a home or garage, EVEN IF doors and windows are open;" "Only use OUTSIDE and far away from windows, doors, and vents." The warning label also includes pictograms. The Commission believes that providing this safety information will help reduce unreasonable risks of injury associated with portable generators.\1\ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
