WASHINGTON, D.C. – This week, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued 28 separate product safety recalls and warnings. This is a new agency record and more than double the agency’s previous weekly high for safety warnings.
Nearly all the recalls and warnings issued this week involve products manufactured in the People’s Republic of China. They include results from CPSC’s first-of-its-kind enforcement sweep of off-brand Chinese faucets found to leach lead and other contaminates into U.S. drinking water. Additional action is expected in the coming weeks.
Since President Trump’s inauguration, CPSC has renewed its focus on its core mission: protecting American families. This change in course – ending wasteful DEI initiatives and cancelling overseas trainings that advance Chinese interests, for example – is making Americans safer.
“CPSC remains hard at work to protect consumers,” said Acting Chairman Peter Feldman. “We will always put Americans first.”
“This record-breaking week shows what a focused CPSC can do,” said Commissioner Douglas Dziak. “We’re cracking down on foreign violators and delivering real safety results for American families.”
Some advocacy groups have claimed, wrongly, that the agency’s statute prevents CPSC from warning the public quickly about dangerous products. This week’s activity demonstrates that the Commission will not hesitate to warn Americans about dangerous products, particularly in cases involving foreign firms that are unreachable when problems arise.

About the U.S. CPSCThe U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. Since the CPSC was established more than 50 years ago, it has worked to ensure the safety of consumer products, which has contributed to a decline in injuries associated with these products.
Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.
