In evaluating the likelihood of injury from a product, the CPSC relies on information in its national databases, such as the National Injury Information Clearinghouse. Arent Fox uses the Freedom of Information Act to gain access to information in CPSC databases when products may incur heightened regulatory or enforcement risks.
Examples include:
Consulting on an appropriate product testing strategy for specialty fragrance candles and the regulatory risks associated with their promotion.
Advising on appropriate use of lead content in various consumer products and assisting clients in developing guidelines on using lead in future product development.
