Port Surveillance News: CPSC Investigators Find, Stop Nearly 650,000 Unsafe Products at the Start of Fiscal Year 2012
Working with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents, CPSC port
investigators successfully identified consumer products that were in
violation of U.S. safety rules or found to be unsafe. CPSC and CBP
teamed up to screen more than 2,900 imported shipments at ports of entry
into the United States. As applicable, these screenings involved use
and abuse testing or the use of an X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer.
Their efforts prevented more than 647,000 units of about 240 different
noncomplying products from reaching consumers, between October 1, 2011
and December 31, 2011.
Topping the list of products stopped were children's products containing
levels of lead exceeding the federal limits, toys and other articles
with small parts that present a choking hazard for children younger than
3 years old, and toys and child care articles with banned phthalates.
In addition to violative toys and other children's products, items
stopped at import included defective and dangerous hair dryers, lamps
and holiday lights.
"We mean business when it comes to enforcing some of the toughest
requirements for children's products in the world. If an imported
product fails to comply with our safety rules, then we work to stop it
from coming into the United States," said Chairman Inez Tenenbaum.
"Safer products at the ports means safer products in your home."
During fiscal year 2011, CPSC inspected more than 9,900 product
shipments at the ports nationwide and stopped almost 4.5 million units
of violative or hazardous consumer products from entering the stores and
homes of U.S. consumers.
CPSC has been screening products at ports since it began operating in
1973. In 2008, the agency intensified its efforts with the creation of
an import surveillance division.
Harmful/Violative Products CPSC Stopped from Reaching Consumers
* The following list includes only seizures which violate a federal
mandatory standard. Additional products found to be defective or
violative of a federal safety rule were also seized but are not listed
below due to restrictions on reporting certain information in Section 6
of the CPSA and the delay in record updates.
