Acting Chairman Nancy Nord Statement on Congressional Passage of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act
Consumer Watch / Recalls Info
Acting Chairman Nancy Nord: I appreciate and applaud the fact that Congress has given the Consumer Product Safety Commission many of the additional authorities and enforcement tools I requested last year. In addition to these new tools, the bill also contains many new missions and mandates for the agency--responsibilities that are not funded by the bill. Therefore, the next step for Congress will be to pass an appropriations bill that will fund these new requirements.
