Deaths, injuries and property damage from consumer product incidents  cost the nation more than $800 billion annually. The CPSC is committed  to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire,  electrical, chemical, or mechanical hazard. The CPSC's work to ensure  the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools,  cigarette lighters, and household chemicals - contributed significantly  to the decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with  consumer products over the past 30 years.</p>
