## Abstract

Section 15(b) of the Consumer Product Safety Act, 15 U.S.C. 2064(b), requires manufacturers, distributors, and retailers of consumer products to report potential product hazards to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. On May 26, 2006, the Commission solicited comments on proposed revisions to its interpretative rule advising manufacturers, distributors, and retailers how to comply with the requirements of section 15(b). The proposed revisions identified additional factors the Commission and staff consider when assessing whether a product is defective or not. The proposed revisions also clarified that compliance with voluntary or mandatory product safety standards may be considered by the Commission in making certain determinations under section 15. After considering public comments, the Commission issues the accompanying final rule.\1\ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
