Safer Products Start Here!
This lesson is a guide published by CPSC.
Read the guideWhat you'll get
CPSC's landing page for its Regulatory Robot, a free question-by-question tool for small businesses making a product for children or other consumers, which points you to the federal product safety requirements to review before you manufacture or import it. The page says to run it once for each product because each may face different rules, and the tool's terms call its output guidance rather than legal advice, so treat the result as a starting checklist to confirm with CPSC.
Do this week
Run the Robot for your first product, then use CPSC's Small Business Ombudsman contact form to ask one question about a rule on your list that you don't understand.
