Protect Others

Your report will let other consumers know about dangerous products and help CPSC decide if it should take action - recall the product, fine the manufacturer, or create regulation.

Remain Confidential

Your personal information will remain confidential throughout the reporting process and will not be shared without your permission. If you give us permission to publish your report, it may become searchable from the Search page on SaferProducts.gov. If you do not give us permission to publish your report, the safety information may still be made public by CPSC. Whether you give us permission to publish your report or not, your name and contact information will not be released.
