The number of product safety warnings issued by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has surged dramatically. In 2024, warnings reached a record high of 63, up from 38 in 2023 and just 12 in 2022. The driving force behind this increase is primarily the influx of hazardous consumer products from Chinese manufacturers. Acting chairman Peter Feldman emphasized that many of these companies remain unreachable or uncooperative when safety issues arise, particularly affecting products sold by third parties on major retail platforms.
A surge of product safety warnings in the U.S. is directly linked to noncompliance from Chinese manufacturers, raising concerns over consumer safety in e-commerce.
According to PIRG, U.S. safety warnings reached a record 63 last year. The rise is attributed to a flood of unsafe Chinese consumer products.
CPSC chairman Peter Feldman noted, 'The United States is facing a flood of Chinese consumer products that violate US safety laws,' indicating a severe compliance issue.
Many hazardous products are sold through third-party sellers on platforms like Amazon and Walmart, complicating the recall process for U.S. safety regulators.
