The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is an independent federal regulatory agency with a public health and safety mission to protect the public from unreasonable risks of injury and death from consumer products. The CPSC has jurisdiction over many types of consumer products, from coffee makers, to toys, to lawn mowers, to fireworks. Third party testing is required to support a certification of compliance to the rules for certain products and laboratories will verify the design, safety, and quality of a variety of consumer goods to ensure they are fit for public consumption.
